| 1366511 | 2014-02-02 00:16:00 | I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with a certain German-speaking resident of Coatesville having acquired shares in Orcon? Caveat emptor. :xmouth: Shares? He just does the ad. |

| 1366512 | 2014-02-02 04:02:00 | Still be GPS sold in 5yrs I think. Not everyone would have latish model cars with builtin ones. I expect our 1998 / 2004 year car without GPS still be working then. Bought used. Video store yeah .. one video store near us sold but the customer database got transferred to other one - that legal :confused: I cannot think of anything that may go out in 5yrs, that's pretty soon my signature 5yr old PC hope it still work up to then. Heck I had 2 10yr old PCs here. They're still selling DVD machines now :eek: Maybe we would see electronic voting? |

| 1366514 | 2014-02-02 21:38:00 | maybe software no more media but can be recalled thru the net and installed. now we have cloud services that can sync portable device and desktop together...... we have used the summer special just expired one dollar igloo video rental. ... faultless software at shop no manuals as it's been now. .. maybe no media but download install online. maybe at shop u just buy it like a iTunes credit cardboard thing scratch to expose serial key..... maybe more become subscription like adobe Photoshop and office 365 |

| 1366515 | 2014-02-02 21:55:00 | perhaps saying as good as dead would be a better description.... after all, you can still buy floppies, casette tapes & VHS tapes after all this time. And valves(electronic) are still around and will never die off . Cheapie camera's: I still find it hard to believe when I see tourists using a 10" ipad/tablet as a camera . |
