l_time_news_101105.html


Leica M3

Apple iPod 3G

The original Sony Walkman

The Sony AIBO

Original Game Boy

Nintendo Entertainment System

Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Psion Series 3

Creative DAP Jukebox

Motorola STARTAC


It's a GADGET! Isn't that GREAT!
And plainly does not fit on this list.
As its NOT a gadget.
And what makes it also so bad is these are not people trying to insult us.
They are trying to compliment us. In some way.

They insult themselves the worst of course.

I've never heard of a third of these things by the way.
Does that mean I'm no fun? An old fogy?
Can you put tri x in a Sony AIBO?

What's a Psion Series 3 anyway? Can you make a living off it? Go Pro?!
Does it STOP TIME
Like the Omega 13!!

Gadgets don't DO anything.
They just make noises and put you into a trance.
A Leica M3 is an elegant tool to communicate and create beauty.
