Worst Technology Ever

Well, we all knew it. AOL is horrible. Insultingly patronizing, and then -- when you learn there are better things out there -- impossible to leave.

PCWorld has published a list of the top 20 Bad Technologies...or would that be the bottom 20. At any rate, it's an amusing trip down memory lane for us techno-geeks. Yup, we remember these things, and usually we cringe.

Here's the top offenders...you just knew that MS Bob was going to show up, right? What I want to know is, where is Clippy?

1. America Online (1989-2006)
2. RealNetworks RealPlayer (1999)
3. Syncronys SoftRAM (1995)
4. Microsoft Windows Millennium (2000)
5. Sony BMG Music CDs (2005)
6. Disney The Lion King CD-ROM (1994)
7. Microsoft Bob (1995)
