I'm still more or less actively using five of these (dial-up internet, portable CD player, personal cassette player, minidisc and VCR).

Actively using portable CD, mini disc (duh :)) and VCR. In the past year I've also used dial-up, portable cassette and Polaroid (or something closely resembling it).

How can they possibly claim that VCR eventually lost ground to DVD by 2000? Recording TV programs to DVD has surely only become realistically affordable in the past 5 years (a long time after 2000 in consumer electronics terms). As for "Most people attribute the increased popularity of compact discs, and (re)writable compact discs as a reason for the MiniDisc’s lack of success", pah, we all know it was all Sony management's fault.

How long before analogue TV starts popping up in such lists? Any other suggestions for moribund technologies?
