I remember those. One of my mates got one when we were in like year 7. I was sooooo jealous.

Jeez, I thought you were about 60 for some reason.

The xenophobia? Generally attributed to older people

The iPad.

Never seen the point, never will. If I want work done mobile, I'll use a phone. If I want to type, I'll use a laptop. If I want things seriously done, I'll use a PC.

I can understand others will disagree with me, but I'm glad I personally didn't get one as it would have been an expensive ornament.

I thought the same, until I was given one, now I use very little else, they're incredibly useful

It doesn't stop there though. I can't understand anyone who has to have a new anything, just because. Like phones for example; i've been eligible for an upgrade for as long as i can remember and i'm not even arsed. I still have a Galaxy S3 and it more than does me for what i need a phone for. I have my apps, i have access to the same apps as everyone else if i wish to download, i have my unlimited data, i access the internet and do all the other basics that a smartphone will allow etc.

I have a friend like this. I'd label him an early adopter, but that's woefully insufficient. He decided to sell his game consoles recently, because he was spending too much time playing games. He sold off his Xbox One, PS4, PS3, and WiiU. He kept his son's PS3 and his backup PS3 (which the store wouldn't buy without a power cord) and I'm sure he still has his TurboGrafx16. I can't begin to understand it.

What's that controller for?

It was a games console, so that was the control for the games.

Problem was there were hardly any games.

DVD recorders were rendered pretty much useless not long after their introduction by the introduction of Hard Drives on TV boxes.

3D TV's are a waste of time as well anybody who bought one at top whack must be gutted.


the first customers for any new technology are basically Guinea pigs who pay top top prices for the experience. Much better to wait until all the initial teething problems have been ironed out before purchasing.

I did try with one, but felt the lack of keyboard and its' bulk compared to a phone made it useless for anything I'd potentially need it for. Just seemed to shoehorn into a space where I was already covered.

I unfortunately got 1 of these

Sega Digio SJ-1


The Sega Digio SJ-1 is an early LCD digital camera manufactured by Sega. It was introduced to the Japanese market in 1995 with an updated version featuring a viewfinder in 1996. This updated version was also produced for the Australian market.

The Digio has a sensor of 320x240 pixels and takes pictures in two resolutions: 320x240 and 160x120. The image files are in .SJ1 format, which can only be read with the software that comes with it. The SmartMedia card that comes with the Digio is 5Mbit (640KB) and can store approx 20 pictures in "high quality." There is no AutoFocus, but there is a manual focus that can even do macro-level focusing. Fortunately, there is an automatic aperture/luminosity feature that works reasonably well. In addition, there is no digital zoom available for the camera. The Digio requires 4 AA batteries for operation; from a connection point of view, there are three outputs: one for DC10V (+ center), one for Video Composite Output and one for Serial communication (to the computer or another Digio.)

The Digio starts up within 2 seconds, showing a cool title screen during INIT process, and takes approximately 2-5 seconds to save/view one shot. There is a timer, a view mode and an erase/format disc menu.

The computer software (that uses the COM1 or 2) is in Japanese but works well on Windows 98SE. You can open, rename, or delete your pics directly linked to the DigiCam. There are some tools to edit pictures and one export mode (in BMP or TIFF). The Digio may also be used in conjunction with Sega Picture Magic to edit photos. An improved version of the camera, the Sega Digio II, directly interfaced with Sega Saturnhardware.

was rubbish, but even worse after the Mrs reversed over a bag with it in
