Arrow PC World's 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time

Don't know if anyone else has seen this

The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time

but it's kinda funny.

I'll spoil it a bit with this excerpt from the beginning:

Quote:
1. America Online (1989-2006)

How do we loathe AOL? Let us count the ways. Since America Online emerged from the belly of a BBS called Quantum "PC-Link" in 1989, users have suffered through awful software, inaccessible dial-up numbers, rapacious marketing, in-your-face advertising, questionable billing practices, inexcusably poor customer service, and enough spam to last a lifetime. And all the while, AOL remained more expensive than its major competitors. This lethal combination earned the world's biggest ISP the top spot on our list of bottom feeders . . .
Other good stuff at their related links with diametrically opposed content:
