The console wars were more ferocious than any other war in history. You could say they top the Vietnam War, but you won’t. Many companies would rise and fall through the video game crash of 1983, yet only one would prevail to be the most terrible. And now, dear reader, I present to you the 10 worst systems of all time.
The new laptops are coming out with ExpressCard slots, which can be a nice change; too bad all the companies that produce PC cards must not have gotten the memo because the number of ExpressCards pales in comparison to all the PC cards out there. Well now Duel systems ended that hardship with the release of the DuelAdaptor. What this does is it allows you to plug in a PC card in one end and then the other end plugs into your ExpressCard slot. Duel Systems brags about how this is faster than PC card to USB, and if they are right, this could be a high selling product. Many people already have old PC cards, and many are also looking for ExpressCards for their specific need and can’t seem to find them. If people find out about this thing, the PC card manufacturers won’t have to switch over to Express, they can just sit on their cans and watch everyone change for them. The DuelAdaptor is set to come out early next month for an estimated price of $119. As of right now this is a good fix for those of us with ExpressCard slots, but everyone else should get on it with this and start making ExpressCards for us; we can take so many wires on our desk. — Nick Rice
