Update: I found my old Wacom tablet from 2010 and tried to use it
I was cleaning out a closet last week and found my first drawing tablet, a little Wacom Bamboo. Plugged it into my new computer and the driver support was completely gone. It made me remember how I used to save up for months to buy that thing, and now my phone can do better line art. The whole process of finding drivers and failing made me realize how fast the tools for digital art change. Has anyone else tried to use really old gear and found it's just a piece of plastic now?

Used to think old gear was timeless, but finding those drivers changed my mind.

My 2007 Bamboo is just a paperweight now too. @jana_lewis16 is right, the software side of things makes old hardware useless. It feels weird that a tool I loved is now just a piece of plastic.
