25 Worst Technology Products

They had to dig pretty far back for some of these.
Largely, I agree with their selections.
Unfortunately I owned quite a few of them :P

Re: 25 Worst Technology Products
Semicolon? Is that a medical term?
The original URL didnt work and had a semicolon on the end, I cut that off and the link started working...is it not working for you?

Re: 25 Worst Technology Products
I loved the Timex Data Watch. I didn't give mine up until the radio controlled atomic watches came out.
Microsoft Bob is a good choice for the list.
Pen-based computers should have been high on the list.
Few people remember Microsoft's Multimedia OS (called Modular Windows). Doggy dog.
Intel had a few crazy chips, too. iapx-432. 80376.

Re: 25 Worst Technology Products
I had a TDW too. How could you not love a watch PDA you synchronized by holding it up to a flashing pattern on your screen?
Microsoft Bob...wasnt that Melinda's project just before they started dating? Hmmm...come up with a crappy product, marry a billionaire!

Hey, once he saw her proposal for Bob 2.0, Bill took one for the team by agreeing to marry her and even procreate with her.
