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… 😖
-WebTV? No. Interactive TV in the days of dial-up. 🙂
-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
Great idea for a post!
-PDA? Yes- Handspring Visor. It was supposed to be the Palm killer (it did have some success, as I remember).
-DVD-Recorder? No
-WebTV? No, but my less tech savvy friend had one. Those seemed doomed to fail.
-3D Television? Yes- spend way to much on two pairs of glasses that were used less than five time.
-Raspberry PI? Yes, but haven’t done enough with it.
-Internet Radio Player? No
I also had some type of smart pen around 2001 that would transfer what you wrote onto the computer. I think you had to plug the top of the pen into a USB port. It was a large pen (probably the size width of 5-6 normal pens combined). I can’t find the name of it. I think you had to have a special notebook with it too.
Did those 3D tvs actually work?
They did. But even at the height of its popularity, there were only a handful of movies that had it.
The glasses were around $170 per (if I remember correctly). That was a big barrier to entry.
