Yeah, there's not a lot you can do with 32MB. Once you've got the hacks on a 1GB memory stick, you've got about 900MB which is good for about 2-3 average sized games.

Sounds good.

Have you tried the old NES emulator? So you can play all the old school NES games?

I still highly recommend a DVR/ Tivo to everyone...great way to watch a lot of games in a short ammount of time...

They seem to come as standard with a load of the copied games on ebay - I'll get those sometime soon. All I really need is for them to bring out cheap 4GB memory cards and I'll hardly ever have to copy games over again.

I missed this thread, great info here

**pags11** · 10-12-06, 04:14 AM

yeah, too bad that you won't be able to use it because of your recent retirement...

bumping for the holidays...

How about this one? Make your bets by the pool or in the bathroom?

That looks cool, I actually had that mouse you posted on the first page, it eventually crapped out after a good year of use. Clicked the left button too many times I suppose.

Good thread guys.. I love tech gadgets.. That four panel monitor was cool...

Anyone see a cool tech. gadget feel free to post it as I like this sh*t..

iPhone for the win. Now I can bet anywhere, at any time.

**diglett** · 11-27-07, 02:20 PM

I have an older version of that internet tablet. The screen is incredible for its size (800x480 versus the iphone's 480x320).

Among other things, I use it to check scores. At times, I end up checking almost constantly. My wife hates it when I do that.

The wireless is solid. Also since it runs linux, it can run some nerd oriented wireless apps. It's no substitute for a notebook, but still a very cool device.

Damn I thought We had a gadget that lets us predict the winner 99.9% of the time!

I am sure the books are thinking, NO NOT A FAST MOUSE!

best browser phone is I-Phone but not on high speed network yet

**Bill Dozer** · 12-05-08, 07:31 PM

Adding to the list... The Netbook. These are perfect for making a bet FROM the game. This one is a Dell Inspiron Mini 9

Getting me one of those little guys to carry around with me at work.

It's fun to look back and see the old game changers from Christmas pasts... I'm not going to add the obvious Ipad or phone this year. How about these:

This is a wireless router that takes your laptop's USB stick. You and all of your friends at the game can share the connection.

and...

The Mifi and hotspots.

Same principal as wireless router and hotspot phones but they want you to pay more for one connection. Boooh. But, still pretty cool.

**chilidog** · 11-30-10, 02:31 PM

Wow, that was cool reading through the old gadgets that at the time were hotshit, and now, meh, collecting dust.

**ngates815** · 11-30-10, 02:45 PM

Back in 05....onlooker posted a 1GB usb stick saying he got it on ebay for 35, when they retailed for 100+

How times have changed in the past 5 years.
