That's an interesting list. I'm a tech junkie, and I only have two on the Best list, and only one on the Worst. Not sure if that's good or bad, or if I'm just way behind the curve.

I've actually heard of some of those items; I even sorta know
what some "do"...I own none of them, (but I do have an HD DVR
here in FL and a std def DVR in NC, non-TiVo though).

I'm only slightly "ahead" of L, the Challenged One, before me,

LOL...On the worst list I've tried the iPod battery replacement kit...What a mess. I ended up tossing the iPod after an hour of frustration and carnage.

Microsoft Vista...Boy do I long for the XP days...I just dug out my laptop running XP so I could sync my iPhone, iPod and use some of the hardware and software I'm still waiting for Vista drivers and patches to use.

Well, I have none on the "best" list, and only one (Vista) on the "worst" list. Plus, I like Vista.

Wasn't aware of this list but glad to know my N95's there! I switched to this from the Nokia 9500 Communicator, after my mobile provider gave this to me for being a loyal customer. Between the two, though, I don't know which one is more complicated. I have yet to learn how to use the other features.
