Gear you own/owned that you hate...

...the cheapness of it (almost everyone as one these days) which makes it pretty lame...

What about legs. I went to the coffee shop the other day whipped out my iBook to do some surfing and felt quite smug as I was the only person in there with one but then this amputee came in and I was soo jealous as I realised that I was just like the rest of the losers in there with legs!

the small capacity of it's HD and the cheapness of it (almost everyone as one these days) which makes it pretty lame...yeah undoubtedly, it's kinda in a way, strong(if u have lots of RAM in it but my case, 256MB is pretty lame)....

Blimey, there's just no pleasing some people. Buy a memory upgrade and a custom case, and fall in love all over again.

Top ten hate list

With Dave Letterman and stage band...

10. Palm IIIe - sad little chunk of plastic, but I suppose it was good in it's own time

9. HP LaserJet (1000a, I think)... scanner died the second time I used it

8. iMic - unintelligent mic that continued to record ambient noise even with a direct input plugged in

7. Viewsonic 19" monitor (G90, I think)... Spent almost $500 on this thing... had to ship it in for repairs ($65) after an early death at two years and they sent me back an OLDER refurbished unit that worked until 4 days after my 3 year warranty expired and then that one fried too.

6. HP inkjet... sad, sad, sad.

5. Olympus digital voice recorder. Sound quality is crap. I have yet to find a really GOOD recorder (using my Palm T3 voice memo recording for now). Any suggestions?

4. Dazzle DV Bridge - I spent like $350 on the thing and it just died one day...

3. Man, this is a close tie with #1 and #2... cable modems! Aughh... Time Warner sucks and Comcast blows!

2. Maxtor 80G hard drive - bad case connections that caused the HD to randomly disappear for days/weeks at a time and constantly scared the hell out of me. I finally ripped open the case and transplated the drive into an metalGear case - no problems since. Ohhh I hated that thing!

And the #1 most HATED gear...

1. ...every damn PC I've ever used!
