Too clever by half |
More surprising in the sense that Spencer Silver of 3M stumbled into this one while trying to create a super strong adhesive. He failed, but in a good way. I think personal computers fit the bill here. When first developed given their limited capability and exorbitant cost nearly everyone questioned the need or desire for individuals to own one.

Telemarking and phone scams. I don't know of a single person who has ever bought anything or responded favorably to these solicitations, and yet they persist and seem to be growing. Somebody is funding their growth. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Redbox. I had a chance to get in early on this. I thought the was no way a grocery store would allow a rental cabinet when they rented/ sold movies inside said store as it was. I was wrong. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

Last time tripping south from Oregon, I stayed in San Jose. No one warned me to "don't drink the water". Funny I did notice many bottled water trucks as I drove in. Eugene Oregon has very drinkable water from the tap. But the bottled spring water from eastern side of Cascades even better. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | |||

Cameras in phones.  When they first came out I though "Why in the hell would you need a camera in your phone?" Now I use one almost daily. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Simple Green. When the military dumped it on us years back i knew it would be crap just like all the other cleaning products (think spay-n-wipe). Amazed by how good it was. Now I always have a gal jug and a spray bottle of it out in the garage.This message has been edited.
