Your most short lived piece of tech?

[Dos_Box]

Haha! My sister had one of these, was utterly useless and i'm not sure she ever figured it out.

 

 

As for DAB, I love mine.

 

It sits in the kitchen and lets me listen to five live sports extra when the cricket is on and Planet rock radio the rest of the time. They're wonderful things

 

Yeah, I'm going to side with DAB here too, much better selection of stations and audio quality, and +1 for Planet Rock

A sort of car fan heater which I thought would be a clever wheeze to defrost the car windscreen. It was short lived because it was utterly useless.

 

I also still have an Sigma 50-500 "twitchers" lens which has to be one of my most expensive purchases per use. Shortly after I bought it my sister was selling a Canon 35-350 white lens for a price I couldn't resist, so the 50-500 was only used a couple of times. I really must put some stuff on ebay.

This thread does show that one mans junk is another mans treasure.

 

i would happily give a loving home to a Dreamcast, a raspberry pi and that windows 8 tablet

 

i do have a wii myself not been used for over a year.

 

Ironically I really miss the dreamcast, it was possibly one of the best consoles I owned and the games were all decent on it too, SoulCalibur2/Crazy Taxi/Sega Marine Fishing/Shenmue

 

Xbox I had after it and PS2 never compared to that console for me personally.

I'm waiting for someone to admit they had one of these:

The worst I can think of for me was owning one of these as a child.

I actually played on it too, even though when I think back about it - it was a load of c**p

I bought one of those a few years ago, second hand at a random fete. Cost me £4. Managed to get Linux running on it then it died.

I loved my barcode battle! I mean it never bloody worked and there was no logic as to what barcodes were the best to use, but it was always fun trying and failing to use all manner of cut up cereal packs!

We also had this and played all of about 10 times

Ah good old nintendo guns, for all the arm wailing and buggy response you get from the Wii it never felt as real as duck hunt did as a kid.

 

I had a Zune before the world decided that ipods were the only approved MP3 player to have, also one of those cheap usb stick MP3 players that pupils used to always bring in to "get their work off" when they broke. Now i just use spotify on my phone.

I forgot about the Barcode Battler, I had one as a birthday present and used it for about 2 days afterwards, I also remember and think that the Super Scope beat the Sega Menacer which I had given to me for my Megadrive very convincingly having used it, my sister had a Creative Zen MP3 player which was also awful as I recall.

 

I love my DAB radio too, better than normal radio by far.

I had one of these for my birthday present many years ago.

 

Never got how it worked. Software wasnt great.
