Mark, given you statement, why aren't home receivers smaller? We aren't talking about circuit boards, we are talking about electronics you will have to handle and move etc. Home receivers should be the size of a walkman by now but aren't. I'm reminded of the scene in Zoolander where he pulls out his cell phone and it's the size of a jelly bean, he can't even dial it. Some things, their size is also dependent on their use. If human beings have to interact with an object, it must be of some basic size...this seems obvious. I don't want to have to get out tweezers and a microscope whenever I want to do something with my modern electronics.
