Right after the collapse of the dot-com bubble, I bought a used Netra T1. I got it for a song on eBay from a hosting provider that was going under, and for the price, how could I pass it up? Sure, it was unnecessary — but it was so cheap! I had to have it. At the time that I bought it, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to do with it. But boy, was I excited. Predictably, when it did arrive, it quickly turned into an expensive paperweight. That’s not to say that I didn’t toy around with it for a while; but over time, it got less and less use.
