Last time I was there, I was amazed by the number of machines that had built in ashtrays. I suppose when we finally outlaw headphones (sic) due to the damage they're causing to our ears, that the ubiquitous headphone jack will have a similar nostalgia... :) My favorite there is the "kitchen computer" that has a cutting board built right in. Ahhhh you've got to love "integration" and "convergence".
