Good lord dude, just write a proper sentence- wouldn't it be easier? O_O


Jokes aside, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those. It's a shame about the goofy eyepiece- a more modern LCD would have had me giggling with delight.

Yeah, so at first glance I thought this was a box containing a small CCD webcam-type thing and a small color printer. It's the 21st Century, and that would only make sense.

You DO get to. These will use the resurrected Polaroid 600 film produced in Holland by The Impossible Project.

You mean these are Polaroid cameras but they do NOT use Polaroid film?

Well I guess they WOULD use true Polaroid film if you could find it. But it's hilarious that Polaroid would start making the cameras when they no longer make the film.

I wonder about the design, too. Are they still the same, or very similar to the original?

Yeah, dude, it's twue, er, true. They stop working after only TEN pictures. Then you have to take the old empty filmpack out and put a new one in.

The rumors about LP's are true too: They stop playing after about 20 minutes and you have to turn them over to hear the second half of the album!

Does anybody else remember when dishes were like 8 feet wide and you had to rotate it back and forth to tune into certain stations?

Dear god that sucked. Having to walk up to that box and push the button and wait while you heard this giant dish creak and rattle to a new position.
