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

The winner of the best cable goes to:
A mate of mine worked at a HiFi show, and while setting up the equipment they realised that they'd forgotten to bring the ultra-expensive, de-ionised copper speaker cables. No time to get proper replacements, so they nipped into a nearby DIY store and bought a reel of that three-core orange mains cable that you get on lawnmowers, hedgetrimmers etc. Cost about £1 a metre, if I remember correctly -- compared to about £80 a foot or whatever the "real" stuff was.

In the entire four-day show, with some of the country's most obsessive audiophiles visiting their demo room, they got nothing but compliments for the sound quality.

excellent
anyone who discribes themselves as an audiophile is going to be a bit of a tit

Genius.
On the plus side: lots of pretty, blinking lights!
