I've got fond memories of a few items:

Atari 2600 -- I wish I'd kept those cartridges!
Commodore 128 w/2MB RAMdrive
USR 14.4HST modem -- It was huge with lots of blinking lights and it was super fast!
HandEra 330 (http://www.handera.com/Products/Handera330.aspx) -- Did just about everything I needed from a PDA
Duke Nukem 3D -- My first network shooter... wife and I had tons of fun with that one!

Heh... I installed Stella just a bit ago and played through a bit of "Adventure" -- ah, the mighty block, armed with his golden arrow of dragonslaying... those were interesting times.  My wife, who never had access to an Atari, had NO IDEA what the possible appeal was (she's a more modern gamer, but at least she's a gamer, so I can't complain).
