I work for a company that sells BMW automobiles. We get a lot of complaints on the iDrive feature. Is it cool? Yes. Can you do more with it than without it? Yes. Is it necessarily progress. No, I don't believe so. At what point would you decide that enough is enough? When you have to reboot your toaster in order to make toast? Maybe after your refrigerator spoiled the second or third batch of food because the thing just "didn't work".
My only issue with technology is most manufacturers don't warn folks that it isn't 100% reliable and maybe requires knowlege of outside of the norms. A certain maount of products have always been made for hobbyists. Cd players are for folks who like to listen to music. This stuff is made for hobbyists who like to listen to music. Keep in mind, large parts of the world do not have electricity and everyone else falls in between them and you. Just because you can deal with it doesn't require that everyone else must or they are dolts. Howard -- Howard Passman Sorry slow to respond.
