This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Big Trak
It was fucking quicker to grow the apple from seed than it was to programme Big Trak to fetch it for me.

And then it couldn't get over the kitchen step anyway. My Mum got fed up with lifting it over, putting the apple in and then sending it back. I got fed up with going to rescue it when it came up two metres short of the door and turned left into the dog.

The cat seemed to like sleeping in the trailer though, so it wasn't a dead loss.

I'm glad you told me this...
...I never had one as a kid but I've seen that they've been rereleased and so I was going to get one.

Yes!
...and my step-brother and I each had one for xmas, so we could work out synchronized "battles" and stuff.

Great fun.
