25 Worst Tech Products of All Time

Wow some of there are some real stinkers in this list. I remember how AOL used to cripple some machines when people either tried to uninstall them or upgraded them to a different build. I wonder if anyone actually did a count of the total number of CDs that they sent out in the 90s as well. I bet it is in the billions. Here is the rest of the list.

America Online (1989-2006)
RealNetworks RealPlayer (1999)
Syncronys SoftRAM (1995)
Microsoft Windows Millennium (2000)
Sony BMG Music CDs (2005)
Disney The Lion King CD-ROM (1994)
Microsoft Bob (1995)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (2001)
Pressplay and Musicnet (2002)
dBASE IV (1988)
Priceline Groceries and Gas (2000)
