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 loved my Palm Pilot and I can still write using that script (was quite nice when I noticed my Android keyboard supported it)
Raspberry Pi: this feels weird to be on this list! I still have one in the living room running Kodi
No to the others, although I did have one of these beauties:

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.
