Ah! Things we miss! We miss you so! CNET gives us a top ten of tech that we currently miss including vinyl records and the Apple Newton. These stories are kind of like sugar-free nostalgia candy, offering the sickly sweet taste of treacly “Let’s Look Back, Shall We” as well as the memory obliterating effects of time. They’re easy to write and always get people angry—”Why don’t you miss WANG!”
I mean think about the Newton. That bugger wasn’t any great shakes, nor was Kozmo. Manned spaceflight? Sure. Great stuff. But Kozmo’s candy bar delivery service for the stoned? That’s what bodegas are for.
