Hi Flub,
I know what you mean, it drives me nuts waiting for anything. Totally impatient. As a lover of gadgets this is a bad thing. If I dare read about some new technology I will want it straight away.
Some years ago I was at the Bristol Hi Fi show and the new plasma flat screen technology had just started to rear it's head. On two stands we met the UK Sales Manager and both asked the same question: Can you afford to spend £10,000 and not be bothered by it? My reply was 'no' and the salesmen both replied that the technology was not there and the screens would fail inside a year. They where selling to people who could throw £10k down the drain!
The interesting thing about this was I told my Wife when we moved into our current house in 1999 that I wanted a flat screen tv on 'that' wall. They had not been invented then, apart from a few ideas!
I now have a plasma and projector screen doing exactly what I wanted it to do 9 years ago!
Best regards
Chris
