Most of us probably look back on pocket digital camera as a thing of the past. Maybe even remembering film and APS cameras. But who remembers their good old floppy disk camera?

    It may have been a lower quality picture than a good 35mm, but was it worse than a 35mm scanned (by a 1990 scanner)? Excusing the random and uninteresting subject matter of my kitchen table and wall paper…

    Thats awesome! I insist that I won't give my son any new tech till he can learn to appreciate how good it is now... He'll start with a game boy, walkman, and BBC Micro...

    My high school had one (ONE!) of these and I thought it was the most amazing thing! The yearbook staff used it, and it produced photos decent enough for publication. I lusted after one for a long time…

    This reminded me of a book I bought years ago (~2006) called more electronic gadgets for the evil genius. One of the ideas was to hide a capacitor in a tennis ball and add an couple conductive tape pads to each side. Charge it up and throw it to someone!

    Had a little comment saying a large capacitor would make a bigger shock, but no real warning!

    OK, first off, that book sounds AMAZING... I'll have to source a copy!

     

    I guess it's fine if you catch it in one hand, but if you catch it in 2 and it flows across your heart...
