Memory lane thanks to PC World

PC World magazine has published its 50 Greatest Gadgets list, and for me it was a nice little walk down memory lane. Born in the 1960s, I or my uncles had many of the things on the list.

Particularly memorable for me:

The completely useless Timex Sinclair computer (I remember hand-typing BAM, an idiotic little BASIC program that shifted the screen), Atari 2600 video game system, early LED wristwatch, Sony Walkman, Speak & Spell, Commodore 64.

PC World missed the venerable Pocket Pussy. I know you had one.
