Seiko TV Watch is now 20 years Old

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nothing-else-going-on dept.

TheGreatOrangePeel writes "In 1982 the Seiko "Television Watch" became available to buy. Now, 20 years later, the watch has become a bit of a rare item to find. When it was available new, it contained the following: 1-1/4" LCD Screen on wristwatch, Shirt pocket receiver, Case, Earphones, Owner's Manual." Apparently the small wonder is still the smallest TV commercially produced.

    WHy is this redundant? It seems relevant to me, are you too stupid to see the connection? I dont see ANOTHER post to this e-bay link, correct me if im wrong, but how can only ONE post of its kind be redundant? And wouldnt your mod points be better spent modding more insightful points up?

      Of all the luck. A slashdot user who admits when they're wrong, and it's an AC of all things.

      The rest of you could learn from this brave, brave AC.

    Jeez, use SQLServer or Oracle, or Postgres if you can't afford the others. MySQL Blows!

    But Slashdot doesn't want you to know that, so that's why it loads a cached copy of the homepage when the database goes down every night! (Ever try to click a link on slashdot only to load the same front page over and over again? That's MySQL for ya!)

    Even a crappily configured Oracle server could handle the load!
