I worked in the Slidell mall in the late 90's - had a friend that worked at KB Toys that set aside all the consoles for me. I'll always remember the pissed off mom that saw me walk out of the mall at 1045pm on release day with a N64 in my arms.

The palm pilot was my best friend in nursing school. It was a valentines present from my husband (before we got married). Best fricking valentines present ever....

Between Netscape, Windows 98, and dial up internet I was better off just trying to watch the scrambled pr0n on the Playboy channel

Anyone remember the name of that jetski racing game on the n64? That game used to be the shite too.

Palm pilots were crap. I remember they were the hot thing when I graduated college and I think everyone who graduated college within a few year span got a palm pilot as a graduation gift. And I don't know if I knew a single person who ended up using it.

hell of a coincidence, but I was digging around in a bottom dresser drawer earlier and found my old star tack, complete with charger!
