Wait that calculator is 2000s? Its standard in german schools to this day

Was thinking about what would have been missing from my 2000s desk:
- compact inkjet printer cramped somewhere in the back
- some first person shooter reference (still fondly remember getting totally fragged the first time playing CS...)
- some TV capture device or SW. PCs suddenly were able to decipher the scrambled cable pay-TV channel in realtime :-)
Portable standalone MP3 player would also be a good addition very typical for the time period, plus a reference to Napster or so... :-)
I owned a Samsung Yepp 32, one of the earliest somewhat affordable ones.
The "32" stands for its whopping 32 MByte (no, not GByte) internal flash memory. Enough for half an hour of standard compressed music...
Encarta would be a flashback to the 90's through.
Together with the 14-CD-Set of heavily compressed satellite images that had been the forerunner of the 00s online map services, as well as a CD that contained all the phone numbers, manually digitized from the printed phone books by early east asian data workers...
Did they have that model of Tamagotchi already in the 2000s? Man, my brain just can't make sense of time anymore.
Also, I can totally hear my phone call incoming with the little put-tutut, put-tutut, ptttttttttt from the phone being so close to the speaker, haha.
Daaamn all of those look like they're in great condition. They re-released the og Tamagotchi here in Japan. I was so tempted to get it, but I realized I already have two kids who constantly yap and complain about being hungry.
Zuma lol
Is that paleofetch on your desk?
