Wow. I don't think I've ever had to chance to make the first comment.
Hard drive recorder not in the list, nor is HD.

We tried to do a reasonable spread - but sometimes it gets confusing - ie if you have Sky+ you're double counting hardrive and sky. Plus too many puts people off

HD TV - we assumed most 3D TVs and big plasma types would be HD (or HD ready at worst)

It's a shame that you guys at MSE asked us on one thread as to what gadgets we think you've missed off and gave us about 2 hours to respond before starting the poll. There are quite a few gadgets that have been missed off, which really would be interesting to know...

Things like solar battery chargers, remote control sockets, digital dictaphones and solar garden lighting. Or am I the only person who owns these?

Ok I own the ones in blue above, does that mark me down as being old fashioned

In the other list I own the following,

DVD player (not blu-ray)
iPod/ MP3 player
Digital camera
Printer
Home computer
Breadmaker
Slow cooker
Food Processor

Though the MP3 player only just sneaked on the list I had one given me as a present nearly a year ago and I've still no idea how to use it, so it's still in it's box.

I own (or we) 20 'gadgets' from that list..

What we really need is a second column alongside the first headed - 'If you've got one, how many times have you used it in the last year?'!
