    PDA: UsRobotics Palm Pilot!

    DVD Recorder: No (apart from the one in the desktop), but VHS recorder Yes, a couple of them.

    WebTV: No, it was never a thing in my country

    3D TV: I knew it would flop, never bought one. But father-in-law was discarding his 49" one, so I got it (don’t even have the glasses). So yes, sort of.

    Raspberry: Yes, bought one, 1st gen, to experiment for a project at work, but ended up using an ITX SBC, for all the RS232 and USB ports already integrated.

    Internet Radio: No
