The Worst Five Numbers...

I think the absolute worst numbers are 17 and 23... but I also have somewhat of a distaste for 129. Let's not get started on the worst letters...

18. IBM Deskstar 75GXP (2000) Dead as a womp rat: The Deskstar 75GXP had one notable vulnerability--it tended to crash and die without warning.Fast, big, and highly unreliable, this 75GB hard drive was quickly dubbed the "Deathstar" for its habit of suddenly failing and taking all of your data with it.

OMG, I had 2 of these in a RAID 0 Array... needless to say, click, click, click, thump, thump they were toast after about 3 months..

How did palm corp escape this list, so much frustration in such a small package.

And with customer support designed to do nothing useful, but waste time giving wrong answers, to questions you did not ask.

PC World writes these kinds of articles, counting on the fact that readers won't take the time to research how much PC World hyped these very same technologies when they were first offered.

I had "fun" with a number of these. I didn't know that my hatred of RealPlayer was so widespread. But the real butt-kicking I got was when I got inside info that Priceline had deals for gas. I bought $5000 worth of shares on that (not that big a deal, but still). Ouch.

My old computer used Microsoft ME and I can say that the blue screen of death was a common sight on my computer. Good to see that it is listed, and listed quite high.

My suggestion for the list.

I loved my WebTV! Sometimes miss being able to plop down in front of the tv to use it.
