@nivex @djsundog oh god, I think I still have one of those in the basement. What a pile of shit! It was pretty terrible.

@minego @djsundog It did have limited usefulness, being designed around Flash applets. Even more so now that the "cloud" service is basically gone.

The price was right though: I won it at Ohio LinuxFest many years ago.

@nivex @djsundog I had 2. I won one at some conference, and my boss gave me another.

It was very unresponsive to user input, which really made it feel terrible to use.
