Things you liked that disapeared from the market.

[LOST TALE]

Edit: It's still there but mostly gone*

 

I will start with mine: the pointing stick:

I didn't mind using it instead of a mouse, furthermore if the ergonomy was good, it was perfectly confortable.

There is a little learning curve, that most non-techies couldnt handle just like they cant handle plugging the Ethernet cable. So it disappeared form the market in favor of the touch pad that I try to replace with a mice like a big deal.

(doing circles with it, faster, bigger, slower was very fast learning. It allowed the brain to establish understanding of the pointing behaviour along with acceleration and all that).

 

Someone says they still exist but I haven't seen them materially for over a decade.

Honestly, all of the good ASUS netbooks, and all of the old hardware.

I've just noticed the Fiio E10 went out of stock in both Newegg and Amazon (and all the other stores I've checked). Not sure what's going on...

 

 

 

Maybe it'll come back in stock, but I've never seen a product go out of stock in all of the major online stores at once.

[FloRolf]

Uhh my minds drawing a blank here.... 

All I can think of are foods.... 

[prolemur]

Well it's something that I liked that apparently not many others did, the game homefront. I really hope that since crytek bought the rights to it when THQ more people will play homefront 2 and it will be a better experience.

It got discontinued

 

And then replaced with the exact same thing with a slightly altered name

no ... that is the olympus E10

I got the word, that is discontinued from a official reseller.

Then (because someone on LTT doubted me) I inquired FiiO directly and they told me, that it is discontinued.

 

There might (!) be a E10k

I enjoyed that game to, I was surprised at how unpopular it was

 

on topic, The C&C series after number four it disappeared the series has been cold, which makes me sad because red alert 2 was the first RTS I really ever played

[Lil Chillbil]

Firewire as a standard, the fact that firewire didn't catch on just irks me. 

[TheProfosist]

@LAST TALE thats valled a trackpoint and most enterprise laptops ahve them including lenovo, dell, and hp. I way prefer it over the track pad for almost everything and leave my trackpad turned off.

It caught on but just like thunderblot isnt aimed at the mainstream consumer. Also for a single device usb 2.0 had more bandwidth.

[WoodenMarker]

The G9x which I already have but can't really recommend due to it being discontinued.

[Imaginaerum]

Has no one said Gentle Typhoons?
