A lot of people missed dreamcast, or at least missed spending money on one.

Hey, at least in my day, you could buy longer tapes that would hold multiple albums (maxed out at 120 minutes, IIRC)... so unlike the ipod they were at least upgradeable

I shit you not, two years ago I got stuck with a 2006 Taurus as a rental car, and the fucking thing only had a tape deck, no CD player. I was astonished. Still amazes me that Ford is doing better financially than GM and Chrysler.

I just like to think of how that kid's kids are going to react to iPods 30 years from now. I'm guessing they will laugh at it's ridiculously dated features.

Its gonna get to a point where their putting a suppository chip in so you can just shit out whatever information you need.

Its nice that things have gotten smaller and more functional, but its time to slow down. Its not the speed, its the wasted price of new technology with minor new features I dont need

You can go to Target and buy an Atari classic system for like $30-40, too bad all the games are already built in and not on removeable cassettes
