I remember once seeing a father and son pair holding similar objects with different functions

I will forever remember the early Motorola phones as the water bottle phones…

I actually haven’t heard them being referred to as a water bottle phone. Normally it is just the brick phone.

True, but that was the case with many of the gadgets they listed.

I’d like to think that most old technology is ugly. At the time, and even today, I thought all of those first generation apple computers were disgusting.

Agreed! Even the 1st generation iPod now looks a little ugly.

That Osborne 1 computer is not ugly, it’s cute

I guess for a 24 pound beast. Probably wouldn’t be so cute if you had to lug that around town.

The original NES is still pretty sweet looking.

I remember those old 1541 drives. At least the ones that came with the 128 were a little smaller and white.
