Best/worst buys
« on: 17 April 2012, 19:28 »
Technology wise, what's the best thing you've bought?  Perhaps something you got that you never thought you'd end up using as much as you do.  Likewise, what's the thing you've bought that was the biggest waste of money in the end? :grin:

Just technology?? iPhone is pretty sweet, but that's an obvious one as I knew I would use it all the time.


The biggest waste of money was the Nintendo Wii for her indoors. I've used it 3 times and that's more than she has.
The day you see me in a diesel is the day there is no more petrol left :D

Best? Xbox & Kinect, it's my multimedia centre now and streams all my movies from PC's and Laptop - it now has BBC iPlayer which works brilliantly with the Kinect.

guess? :lipsrsealed:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

2 of my Best :
Humax Freeview Recorder. So useful being able to record and pause TV and no subscription fees.
Digital SLR - I would carry it everywhere if I could.

My wife would say her iPad 2 and Kindle.
