Anybody think of any computer products that flopped for whatever reason? I picked up just such a product over the weekend. An external Imation SuperDisk (already have an internal). They were a good idea that just really didn't take off. Faster than the Zip, held more data than the Zip (120MB vs. 100MB) and generally less expensive. They could also read and write to a standard 1.44MB floppy.

Anybody else think of a good product that never realy caught on?

Hmm, im sure there are a BUNCH.

Or what about ideas that were just stupid? Like the 'trays' for CDs that you put into your CD drive. That was annoying.

Lemme think about thigns that never caught on.

I know it isn't gone forever, but it was getting BIG in the early 90s...and it has been quiet silent for a while.
