Help us decide who deserves free tickets to Expand NY

Last week, we flipped the switch on our #ExpandThrowback contest from the submission phase to the voting phase, meaning the winners of our contest are in your capable hands. What is this contest about again, you ask? Simply put, we wanted to see what old technology our readers could dig up in their garages, attics, closets, glove compartments, et cetera, thus paying homage to the old as we prepare to celebrate the new at this November's Expand NY event. One lucky winner gets an all-expense paid trip to the event and four runner-ups get a $250 gift card to update their old technology.*

What are some of the old gizmos found in the top 20? Here's the list, complete with WikiLinks (not WikiLeaks) to fill your thirst for knowledge on tech before we could :

• 16/35MM Recorder
• 8-Track Tape
• Apple Lisa
• Atari Video Gaming System
• AT&T EO
• Blickensderfer #5
• Coleco Telstar
• Commodore VIC-20
• Datapoint 2200
• Motorola Bag Phone
• MS-DOS DIskette
• Original IBM PC
• Original Microsoft Mouse
• Polaroid Model 150
• Portico Miracle PC
• Sega Game Gear
• Studer 3/4 Tape Machine
• Teddy Ruxpin
• Timex Sinclair 1000
• Toshiba T3100

We'll let you hop on over to the contest and vote for your favorite, and make sure to do so by September 19th. Then, on the 20th, we'll announce the winners. You also can see the whole smattering of #ExpandThrowback submissions that didn't make it to the final round here.
