| CD player. #14. That's my tops. I know some of you love vinyl, but I hated all the pops and skips. Digital made life fun. |

Correct me if I am wrong, but is a gadget not something useless that we do not really need but acquire for the hell of it? This would have therefore a negative ring to it. Well I saw a few of those in that list but most of them are actually very usefull and the Swiss army knife actually saved lives - mine among others as I had forgotten the corkscrew on a picnic (pique-nique) and friends were about to kill me |

I got a leatherman for Christmas many years ago. I have kept up with it and it still gets frequent use around the house. Hail Hail. How the mattel magic 8 ball was ranked higher is beyond me. My step son's hasn't worked since it was dropped. What good is a kid's toy that cannot take a good blow? ------------- Raymon

I thought I was the only lunatic that collected this items, I have 95 but most bought about 5 years ago because the stores are crazy about today's prices. Iván -------------

I think I still have my HP-35 lying round under a pile of papers somewhere. The pocket calculator, what a great invention. Speaking of which, if I could invent a device that would allow me to slap people over the internet, I'd be a rich man.

3. SONY WALKMAN, 1979 This with a pair of headphones to block out the world, was nothing but an ingenious solution to much of my problems back then. ------------- Tired of typing the same search parameters on Gemm, MusicStack, eBay etc. -> http://www.musicsearcher.com/search/index.php?firstgo=2&goartist=&gotitle=&golabel= - Link |

That would turn pervey the moment it got out. My girlfriend would have an arse redder than a baboons, by the time I'd finished work. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

My favorite gadget of all time is the string winder for guitars. It cuts the time I spend on re-stringing my guitar in half. Very useful and very clever. |
