Stupid high-tech products

Thanks Grant: In Search of Stupidity.com, featuring the The Hall of Stupid High-Tech Products. My favorites: IBM PC Jr., E.T. for Atari 2600, and the Coleco Adam (I still own one). A few products don't belong on this list, however, including the Osborne Executive and the TI-99/4A, which any early 80's enthusiast will tell you was way ahead of its time. And how could they not have added the Smart Display?? One other falacy to this page: The story about the Apple service bulletin advising customers to pick up broken Apple III units and drop them from a height of two inches happened to an Atari computer, as I recall, not an Apple computer.
