Yesss. Does this happen nowadays: when technology makes some amazing leap, you decide this must be "the end" and "culmination point" and "things can only get worse from now on" and "I have better buy two units just in case".
Dolby Cassette player, Video8 camcorder, Osborne-1 luggable computer and Nokia E52 phone were some of those culmination points for me. But they seem to happen less often nowadays?
