Remember when we had to carry a full binder of driver CDs to every job?
I was at a repair shop in Phoenix back in 2012, and the internet went down for half the day. We had a stack of five machines that needed fresh OS installs, and my binder was missing the network driver for a specific Dell model. Had to send a guy to Best Buy to buy a USB Wi-Fi dongle just to get one machine online to download the rest. Now I just keep a 64GB flash drive with every driver pack I could need. What's the most outdated piece of tech you still keep in your kit just in case?

Got a parallel port printer cable still kicking around in your bag?

Still keep a few PS/2 mice in my bag for those old boards that won't boot with USB, and @holly_hill89 that cable is a lifesaver for legacy receipt printers.
