So it is unlikely that you can get a high tech performer that is extremely reliable. Why? Look at BMW, Mercedes, and Ferrari. If there is something new that is simplier than the old, that changes everything. And if you can get a reliable hightech performer, its likely to cost an arm and a leg. Of performance, relibility, and cost: pick two. You can never get everything

Anyhoo, we've gone off topic with this now.
And the only way you make strides towards "maturing" technology and making it cheaper is by trying these new "conflabbed" ideas and sorting out the problems, thats why change seems to suck for so many people, but in reality they are only hurting themselves.
