Out of all those, the N64, the Playstation, and the cordless phone were the only things I was using by 1997. I did really want a minidisc player though.

I had the Playstation and the StarTAC was my first cell phone.*

I had a web tv. It was useful for the time but all in all it was a huge piece of crap

Was the Nextel direct connect late 90's or early 2000's? I remember everyone in my circle had one and it was the shite.

I had a pool party for my 13th birthday. When I opened my present from my parents and it was an N64, all I wanted was for everyone to gtfo so I could play it all night. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
