Simple, I only use the items that serve their own rules. I mae sure to use 4th edition items over 2nd edition, but there are items such as the rug of smothering that can be transferred over without changes, and the rug of mothering holds great opportunities for role playing period.
I've happily switched to 4th edition, but added 2nd edition magic and wondrous items to better incorporate the role playing aspect of it all, as well as some pathfinder ideas. For solitary and limited groups, I've found incorporating 3rd edition monsters work well. I guess what I'm saying is that, from 1st edition on, D&D was always made to add house rules.
@Markleberry I'd be interested in how you convert 2nd ED magic and so forth to 4E, since it completely disregards the previous systems. Shoot me a PM if you could.
There is a lot in 4th edition I do not like, it takes away quite a bit of freedom you used to have in 3rd edition. There are a few things I like in it in terms of skills etc, but those things I can easily port into 3rd edition.
Also, like the later 3rd edition *Bleep bleep bleep* with them forcing Eberron down our throats, so is it the same stuff with 4rth edition.
But, last few years I've not played a single game of D&D, simply not finding time for it.
@Eucep If you get the chance, search for Bart Carroll on YT, it's Chris Perkins from WOTC running a 4E game that's relatively light on combat. I think 4E gets a bad rap from people not wanting to switch editions. its a very flexible and easy to understand and use system.

I dont know why people hate on 4E soo much. Its a great system and a great game but its not D&D. I dont really care because I still enjoy it alot!
