I have one of these. Well, had. I don't use it anymore. I actually found it the other day when looking for my spare phone charger. I even still have the little earbuds that came with it, the phone is so small it uses 1/16 in. headphones.

leidend posted:Outsourcing phone support is rare in Canada. The worst I get is Americans who are much more reluctant to refund/do things that cost them money and have no idea what a postal code is and/or can't understand why I'm not American when I sound like one. People would make fun of me for my Canadian accent and I'm not even from Canada.

leidend posted:Where are you from? Upstate New York, about 10 miles from where NY, Ontario and Quebec meet. Everyone who laughed at my funny talk was from NYC but they all spoke with the typical midwestern American accent. Edit: So it's not a total derail, today at work I was reminded that we used to (possibly still do) charge twice as much for burning a DVD-R over a CD-R. Even though they cost like 5 cents more. We have probably thousands of blank discs we bought years ago that we're never gonna use. I don't know why we bought so many in the first place, we never used a lot of them to begin with.

Plinkey posted:Sega also did this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Channel which was awesome. I had sega channel for about a year or two before it got replaced by an N64. It did sometimes take up to 5-6 minutes to download the 500ish kb games though. Worth the wait. I wish my Steam games would download in 5-6 minutes.

I had a Netflix Blu-Ray subscription up until recently because there's a colossal number of films that they have on disc but not on streaming. I only got rid of it to save money. Wish I could still afford it.

One of my friends had XM back in 2004. He put it on the punk station because I like that poo poo, and they played Crass and the Bouncing Souls. Never thought I'd hear those bands on the radio. This was before the days of internet radio, and even slightly before the time when everyone had an iPod, so I guess it was pretty awesome in it's first few years. Definitely a waste of money now though.

Could be the one in upstate New York. Lots of gypsies in that area.

In my first year of high school we were still using floppies.

Geoj posted:I wonder how much of it was "manufacturing QC went down the drain" rather than "everything being sold today is new old stock that has been collecting dust in a warehouse for 10+ years." I used to work for FujiFilm, who used 3.5" floppies for backup data, and any time the software driving the printer was updated or reloaded we had to make a fresh set of backups. From about 2007 until I left in 2012 it wasn't uncommon to have a failure rate in the high 60% pulling from a "new" box of floppies. Seriously? A real, actual corporation like FujiFilm was using floppies for backups in 2012? Is that common?
