Gadget fun in the streets of San Francisco

Reading time 1 minute

We’ve been in San Francisco for the past few days, escaping the agonizingly humid New York summer, working on some non-Gizmodo projects (gasp!), and catching up with friends here. Last night, while walking back from dinner with Paul Boutin and his lovely wife Christina Noren, we passed a gigantic fake Pocket PC in a window display of the CompUSA on Market Street with the following error message on it (which adding to the fun, was displayed vertically):

We couldn’t pass up the photo op, so we rushed back to Paul and Christina’s loft, jumped into their vintage Studebaker Avanti, and drove off to the place where I’m staying in the Mission to pick up my digital camera.

All the tourists walking by thought we were crazy. They obviously don’t know what it’s like to edit a gadget blog.
