Years ago I worked at an electronics store and have seen some very interesting products over the years with some being very useful.

Not sure how to do a poll on here but wanted to see how people matched on the ownership of some of these useful devices .

Have you ever owned a My (answers)

-PDA? Yes, I had a Palm IIIe

-DVD-Recorder? Yes. Successor to VCR sure didn't last long... ๐Ÿ˜–

-WebTV? No. Interactive TV in the days of dial-up. ๐Ÿ™‚

-3D Television? No

-Raspberry PI? No but I want to.

-Internet Radio Player? No This would be fun especially if it also had am/FM tuner

useful for swapping restaurant TVs away from Fox News!

Why did phone manufacturers stop putting IR transmitters in phones? So damned useful it was having one!
