Technology Containment Zone ™

the latitude [from november 2004] the connectivity [from january 2004] the technology containment zone [from september 2002] the ultra 1 [from september 2002] the technology containment zone [from may 2002] the vaio [from may 2001]

For some time now, I’ve acted as a technology magnet, meaning I’ve now amassed a collection of cool tech, rare tech, and — let’s be honest here — a pile of crap too :)

Note: the naming convention is Star Trek: Federation starship names for computers and devices, propulsion methods for routers and firewalls, and recreational pastimes for games consoles </geek>
