I'd like to see PS publish a "Remember When?" issue 5 years from now
telling us whether any of the products they highlighted actually
worked out to be as great as they claimed.

I seem to remember them doing something like that about products that
were introduced with a lot of fanfare and claims of being world changing
like The Segway. ^_^


I remember that, too. I'm pretty sure it was PS. Maybe some other
mag?

I think it was on a page that said; "5 years ago we said;" "10 years
ago we said;" and "25 years ago. . . ;"

Something like "A look back" or "Time Machine", heck I'd have to search
for it but it's a kick to read. ^_^

There was a series on 'popular science looks back' - but I didn't
think that one involved *their* predictions necessarily.

While looking for it myself, I ran across this site which serves the
same purpose in a broader sense-

Cool, thanks for the link, I should have a good time reading it but I
still miss my flying car! ^_^
