A Parker 51 that was my grandfather's.
I have a TRS-80 Model 100, too, but you just can't get anything done with something like that.
I also have a Blackmagic Cinema Camera, an unwieldy box designed to produce more filmlike results than a similarly-priced DSLR.
I might trade it in for the Digital Bolex, similar but more ergonomic.
Communication
I've just about had it up to here with Gmail.
Notes
I'm a sucker for the latest writing and painting apps, but never seem to stick with any given one for long.
Coding & Development
Design
Media
Other
I made TinyHack, a nasty little roguelike in 9x9 pixels.
I have an expired Corel Painter trial, and a vague determination to buy a full license.
I was never smart enough to understand the discipline, and only became marginally competent through dumb persistence - and Stack Exchange.
