I have VR glasses, a matchbox sized bluetooth laser projection keyboard, and an OQO pocket computer with WiFi. I go to an internet cafe, put on the glasses boot the computer (uses full up version of Xp Pro) and light up the laser keyboard, wham - surfing and posting on the web with a fullup computer on a 70” screen I can fit in my pocket.

How cool is that. :-)

I will throw in the Apple IIGS.

A almost bought one of those boondoggles. Fortunately, they were too expensive and I got an Amiga 500 instead.

I believe the Sony PS3 will be added to this lit when it is all said and done.

This thread hurt. I was an early adopter of several of these failures. :(

I was an OS/2 Warp beta tester and had a lot of good expectations about it going up against MS Windows. I still know how to crash this 'crashless' operating system by doing nothing more than manipulating the tools IBM gave you to customize your UI. I submitted that bug and they never fixed it.

I'm also pretty sure I can find a dusty old Newton in a box in the garage.
