Still buy books, as I also still love the feel of books in my hand.
But buying books on line is no where near as enjoyable.

So much this. Could not agree more. I should add the caveat that I read a lot and I don't care for reading on a tablet or kindle. Between work, gaming, and cell phones I spend enough time looking at a screen already.
Faxes - Maybe once a year
Checks - Few times a year
Pay Phone - Couldn't find one if I tried
Stamps - Probably same occasions as the checks
Stapler - Yes, this doesn't belong here
Pushpins - Rarely
PC - Yes, this doesn't belong here. To be fair, I do a lot of gaming so it may also be a matter of hobbies.
Newspapers - No, but never really did
Magazines - Waiting room only
CDs - Recently converted my entire collection to digital so now I don't have to bother. My new car actually didn't come with a CD player, so I would not have had an option.
Records - I love records so I play these on occasion. Something about some classic jazz on vinyl.
