it was definitely a failure though. a lot of the stuff was products that didn't have anything fundamentally wrong with them, just ended up DOA from badly misunderstanding the market or even were successful for a time and then died off after someone came along and ate their lunch. betamax. minitel. the arch deluxe of course there was also a lot of hilariously stupid poo poo like bottled water for dogs or an electric face toner haveblue fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Mar 20, 2023 |

BitTorrent came into existence in 2001 when I was 10. with my lovely internet at the time it would often take a whole night to torrent something, but I could download a grip of rm files. I think I only tolerated this in middle school thru early high school
