Crap GadgetsWe 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

Cheap eBay PCsMy boss thought he was being really clever by buying these at 150GBP each, coming as they were with Windows XP Pro pre-installed.
The fact that all six of them froze, crashed and in one case blew up, and I then had to play find the fault for the next week and cannibalise the working parts to make a single working PC that wasn't very high spec and effecively cost 900GBP plus a bit more for some memory that wasn't made from margerine, not to mention a week of my wages? That seemed to pass him by.
