Philips cd-i was pretty bad.

As much as it shames me to admit it, I bought one of the original 3DO's. I thought it was my portal into a gaming and multimedia future. Yes, it's true, the lemur is a schmuck.

(Although I really enjoyed playing Road Rash and Star Command on it ...)

HDCP is a good candidate for #1 I think.

I totally agree with their top pick. AOL sucks!

Not so well-known but there is an electronic music composer program series called Dane eJay which was all about easy drag&drop samples, import yours and arrange your tune. However they released such a crappy version Dance eJay 7 that they had to release a document to tell about the way to import your samples..That summarizes it all.

By the way, I can't disagree with Real Player indeed, worst stuff PC world ever seen.

I dunno, I really liked the way that the Real Player library worked.
Also it had a good fast ripper.

With a good firewall it didn't phone home.

AOL was my first ever ISP, how embarrasing...and yes it was bloody awful. I had a 56k modem, but would only connect at around 8k. It was difficult to even connect to MSN messenger...GAH!

Realplayer is a plague. I just did a check on my PC and i didnt even realise i had it, but oh yes...it was there.
