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

    PDA - I had a WinCE thing I picked up, never really used it

    DVD Recorder - Only in my PC… ‘backed up’ lots of movies

    WebTV - I think my current TV still runs WebOS…

    3d TV - had one, wasn’t suckered into the £150 active glasses and got a passive set where the glasses were about 10p. Had fun with it but it never caught on.

    Raspberry Pi - Loads of the things…

    Internet radio player - I guess my car counts.

      Those passive 3d TVs should have been cooler back then. I remember Borderlands 2 had a mode where you could use the passive 3d to do splitscreen, but full-screen. P1s screen would be polarized one way, and P2s the other way. You had some bleed between the two, but it was playable
