So true.

Fortunately for the rest of us, those who throw their money at the new technology (often in the hopes of a silver bullet) are driving the prices of the new technology down ...

It also happened in the 80s (RISC vs CISC, compilers and languages), the 70s (languages, architecture, 4 vs 8 bit, micro vs mini) and earlier in non-compute technology (60s - muscle cars, colour TV), 50s & 40s (telephone, switching, batteries). <g>
