#79 is the best one by nizo · 2005-02-22 05:44 · Score: 5, Funny

I prefer #79 (TASER X26, 2003) If you have one of these you can probably eventually get everything else on the list.

They might as well be running their webserver on #50...

This might get modded funny if people could actually get to the site and figure out which one #50 is.

I agree that my abacus has a very intuitive interface and gets awesome battery life, but it seems to be taking a long time to compile a kernel. Anyone have tips for optimizing this?
