AOL!! I still remember formating their floppies for other use. After the switch to CD-ROM...fuck them, they really are up to no use :fist:

LOL... they were great. I still remember reading the previews of many of those products and were awesome until you used them

[bmagni]

nintendos virtual boy deserved a spot in there

[antonioledesma]

IMO wasn't that bad, but the games selection didn't help a lot, and it was a little bit overpriced.
if you still think that, the atari jaguar would need to be first

#1,2,4 definitely deserve their places! though Windows ME should be bumped up to number 3 at least, I had nothing but horrible experiences with that BSOD'ing piece of shit.

Haha. . . likewise. Now I used their CD cases as protectors when I give a CD to a friend :) .

Hell yeah. The explorer crashed every other hour on that POS OS.

Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (1997): Learning nothing from Gateway 2000's fiasco a couple of year's earlier with its 10th Anniversary PC, Apple in 1997 released a specially designed bronze-colored Mac to celebrate its 20th year of making computers. This one came with a Bose sound system and leather palm rests, but it also had a weak processor, no network card, and a slow CD-ROM drive (because a faster one couldn't be mounted vertically in its special case). To participate in the celebration, Mac lovers had to plunk down $7500--three times what the same computer cost in a different case. It may qualify as the priciest case mod of all time. Steve Jobs might have bought one; we doubt whether many others did.

Who the hell pays $7500 for a computer? That's like a car! or many cars! albeit used ones.

I guess paying a lot for super high tech computer is understandable, but that $7500 Mac was $7500 only because it was 20th anniversary editon.

By the way

Those classic Voodoo color names are awesome.
Autobahn White, Monza Olive, Infineon Red, Imola Orange...

I so agree with AOL, RealPlayer and Windows Millenium. Ugh.
