curio

The curio they've chosen to collect, the way they've designed and built the place.

What about cabinet doors, curio cabinet doors, and trap doors.

They did a little demo for me when I asked what it was, though obviously it was only a curio these days.

Even then, they were something of a curio; ZIP was dominant format, and RAR was gathering pace.

I would not be inclined to prefer it over, say Type-racer, except as a curio in the show-HN area.

30 years of constant/daily use is different from a few years of use, then pulling out of mothballs as a curio every now and then.

Apparently a curio cabinet is not something that I was getting... but we get chest of drawers just fine, and writing desk.

This gets into the "I once dove to the bottom of the ocean and brought back a pretty shell, so that's a viable place to open a curio shop" fallacy.

It's pretty awesome, but admittedly more a curio than anything practical.

A whole generation of consumers could come to see the Chrome OS pseudo-thin-client model as the norm, with full-fat operating systems being a niche curio.

Or even that our knowledge of the bio-diversity of Central and South America is still lacking...When this was still a curio with no apparent ties to any part of the world, I figured it was simply another 'esoteric knowledge system' using symbols and the structures of the information to convey that information without giving it away to the uninitiated.
