There's too much ambiguity about specificity for me to come to a #. For example, I may have never owned this specific item from the list, but we are currently in possession of a fully functional, nearly mint one of these. Does that count?

When I did it, if they gave a specific model # then unless I had that model I didn't count it. I didn't count the football game though I had the essentially identical soccer version. I have a Canon DLSR but not that one so I didn't count it.

But I while I don't own the Logitech Harmony model shown, it didn't reference a specific model so I counted it.

There were a couple items that I had a similar model, but not enough to matter.

I was pleased, though, to note that they counted my Pentax camera that was my graduation present when I left high school. I really badly wanted that camera, and was pleased it was cool enough to make the list.

I do think the Nikon cameras should be cool enough to count, though. What's so special about Canon?

Nope. Mattel. It's swell.

(And this was one of my gadgets.)

20% - 1 out of 5, more than I expected though I picked up the lame one's like power strip, optical media and 2 types of batteries

There are gadgets that are not on here that I think should be - maybe not for the same reasons, but for their sheer impact.

The Princess phone.

Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb

Garage Door Opener

Microwave Oven

Cocktail Shaker
