That backpack is awesome. I'm a sucker for army-quality backpacks like this or Goruck. Always dreamed to get one of these and travel my country by foot.

Yeah love it. I use it for camping and an emergency bag just in case of a natural disaster and I have to get out quick I can just grab it and go and have supplies to survive with for a while.

Love the sound? :wacko: oh well, to each is own... I will agree with you on the design, i'm guessing you bought the cup sized ones? because if you're talking about the IEM, then I want what you're smoking!

Of course cup sized. I'd agree that the in ear Beats are very substandard, in both design and sound. But the SOLO are awesome. Dont know, at least for me, and I used to have a Marshall and Sennheiser headphones.

Windows XP. I don't care what anyone says about it being old or whatnot, the jump from 98 to XP was immense, defragging that takes 2 hours instead of 2 days and won't been restarting if you use your PC!

Doesn't reboot on pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Allows you to not allow loging if escape is pressed at the login screen.

Has built in drivers for all kinds of hardware, including USB flash drives.

Beautiful backgrounds.

Doesn't lock up anywhere near as much.

When exiting games and whatnot, memory is actually cleared and a reboot isn't needed.

Adding 50 fonts doesn't make your computer take an extra 20 minutes to boot up.

Installing XP is easy, just use the CD, compared to having to get DOS installed or using a CD-driver boot disk with 98!

OK so XP is far outdated today, but when it came out - you've gotta admit it really was the dogs ********.

Wacom bamboo tablet. I love it. Use it all the time.

Acer 16 laptop I know people complain so much about the ACER quality. but this is a 4 year old laptop now. I had to solder the power wires several times since they keep coming undone but it keeps going. I keep it running 24 hours a day for the last 9 months. I had to put a chller pad under it because it would over heat and turn off. For 350$ I got it for on sale at Newegg this has been more than I asked for.

Ipod NANO 4th. LOVE it. Still going strong. Use it so much. dropped it a million times.

Label Maker. I wanted it to label some boxes but now see so many uses. Even at work now. label cables, wire, cabinets. Great multi use. Great deal on a small one on sale for 25$ for a Dyno. Best ever.

Samsung Galaxy Mini. The phone lasts a minute on a charge and the camera is the worst ever. Now i do wish i got a better one with front facing camera to skype more. crap. never again. At east I got an unlocked one so can sell it.

Creative iTrigue 5600.

Bought in early 2000's, still going strong and sounds great.

IDE/SATA to USB converter cable. As a computer tech I didn't realize how much I needed it till I bought it. Works with all sorts of devices.

The original XBOX - okay, I got it as a Christmas gift from my brother, but its gotten a lot of use. First as a dedicated game system, then as a DVD player with the add-on kit (another gift, from my best friend),and now modded with XBMC. I'm shocked that a decade-old piece of tech can still do so much, and do it so well. Hopefully the Raspberry Pi I got to replace the living room XBMC setup will do as well.

XBox 360 - games, video rentals, Windows Phone connectivity. I have two 360s, and they're used, well basically when the XBMC Xboxes aren't.

My old Logitech trackball mouse - over a decade old, and still needs nothing more than a quick cleaning to work perfectly.

My Toyota Yaris - rock solid reliable car that gets 37 miles to the gallon average, and its record is 42! I don't really mind not being able to afford a hybrid back in `08.
