Worst buy?

To all the sexy and fabulous musicians here:

What was your worst hardware or software buy for music
making?

It can be stuff that everyone else loved but didn't do it
for you, or just plain crap stuff.

Mine would have to be the Proteus2000 sound module by Emu.
Awful sounds, awful interface, and a crappy fx system.
Or, any version of Cubase. I've been a happy Cakewalk Sonar3
user for some time, but I decided to try Cubase and see what
all the fuss was about. IMHO, it's far too fiddly to use and
just completely lacks Sonar's use-friendlyness and
efficiency.

it's great if you like spending $20 on a tool with parts
that aren't made to properly fit the jobs they're supposed
to do.

My Casio FZ-1 sampler. Not exactly a bad purchase, but it
just got replaced so shortly by a Kurzweil K2000R. I did use
the Casio alot, but for the money and drive to pick it up,
it didn't quite live up to the expectations. We drove to
this used gear shop in Malmö and there were loads and loads
of analog synths, Yamaha CS-15's, Moog Prodigy and Prophets.
A sweet Prophet-5 that I couldn't afford at the time. This
was shortly before the real analog craze started.

Sucker is me.
