You always get "lame" technological boosts between the good stuff. Look at the outfall from the outfall from the outfall from the US space program and it's support technologies.

Teflon coated frying pans, Spandex bikinis, 3M yellow post it notes, funny solver sweat suits, pens that write underwater and can be erased. Car windscreen wipers using foamed neoprene and silicone blades, an enhanced understanding of the human form and physical stresses it can withstand that directly leads to the wonder bra! Did I mention spandex bikinis?

There's no such thing as truly useless technology.

Okay, you have valid points on the subject of useless items. (Although I've kept some of Moo3's pretty pictures) But these are not examples of useless technology. They're examples of what happens when technology falls into the wrong hands.

It takes a strange and evil mindset to create a sugar free doughnut I agree. And as to what drugs teh developers were on when Moo3 was rolled out... I've no idea.

It's a wicked, wicked powder called Management. The ****ty thing about this one is that you want to get off it, you can stop any time, you just lose your job.
