I had a friend who had one in college my freshman year. He brought it to show off and until that point I had no idea they even existed. Mind you, this was about 2013, so it was already "retro" at the time, but me, my roommate, and a few others present thought it was awesome and were going to try to find our own on EBay...right up until it died half an hour later and he had to replace ALL SIX of its AA batteries.
