I found it fun to use cassettes, laser discs, CDs, DVDs, mini discs, mp3 players even though I no longer use any of them. Also found it fun to go Atari -> Amiga -> DOS PC -> Windows. And Atari 2600 -> NES -> SNES+Genesis -> PS1 etc..

I agree it sucks when support ends but I enjoy it checking it out while it exists.

One major difference is that I can still use all those things you listed (and in many cases, do). I can't continue using Google Reader or Google Code.

There are alternatives, of course, but the burden is on me to migrate. When I'm forced to keep migrating away from Google products, I find it less and less appealing to continue using more of their products.
