I’m old enough to wish I still had some of the old stuff.

The one I can think of the most is Ayds Diet Candy. I think we all know why that failed.

Wow. The very first item they showed in the opening montage, the Timex Sinclair 1000, was one of the best things I ever bought. I was a store clerk and got it because I wanted to see what a computer was like. I taught myself to program it and discovered that I was naturally good with computers. I impressed someone, they hired me into a technology field, and I kept moving up until I became a network administrator. That little toy computer opened up my career for the rest of my life.

The Kodak Disc camera negatives looked like a fancy View Master reel.

I just asked my dad earlier this week if he still had the Kodak disc camera he used on our disney vacation in 1984. He didn't know what I was talking about lol. Memories.

I always thought that if you explained everything a smartphone could do to somebody living in the 1980s they would say it was impossible. <br>But it looks like they wanted to create it back then.

I wouldn't consider the disc camera a failure. Sure, the pics came out grainy at times, especially in low light, but a lot of people had them throughout the 80s. Plus its slim design made it easy to carry. I used mine until the early 90s.

Had a Casio calculator watch & a Casio AM radio watch. They'd be collectors items now.
