You're kidding, right?

Those things are so ugly and so completely utterly useless that I don't know how their company can even think they were marketable in the first place. An oversized, ugly bar code scanner whose only purpose is to read a bar-coded URL from a catalog page and then jump to that page... I just don't get it. The only catalogs that are coded to use it are the Ratshack catalogs, and there's no possible reason anyone would want to buy anything from them, let alone add another bulky peripheral to their desk to help surf the Ratshack web site.

Unless, of course, you're planning on hacking it for your own purposes, in which case, more power to ya. I haven't got one to mail, though. Won't touch 'em.
