Shit, I had a Star-Tac. Paid over a grand for it and it had like 45 minutes of talk time. Was bad-ass at the time, tho...

Remember when there was lawsuits over this in NY because of their claims and the box was forced to carry the disclaimer "Residents of NY will not experience these gains"?

Tab still exists oddly enough... It's just hard to find.

Is the current Kodak that makes digital cameras the same as Eastman Kodak?

The Woolworth name definitely brings back memories as a kid. There used to be one in the local mall we would go to as a kid... I would go to the Mayberry Ice Cream and then roam through Woolworth after church almost every sunday.
