On early adoption

I completely support EagleRay's comment on early adoption. In spite of being a geek, I'm a late adopter. I hate wasting time learning something that has no staying power. I hate dealing with buggy software or substandard hardware. I want someone else to deal with the pain and suffering the newest toy, give feedback to the company and watch their beloved toy become obsolete in six months. I've lived without whatever-the-%$#!! it is so far and I'm willing to do without it for another year or so until they get it right.

I DON'T think you're being too harsh. The same things happens in the fashion world. Early adopters pay boutique price. The sycophants pay high-end department store price. The wanna-be's pay discount store prices and, finally, the late adopters pick it up for a couple of bucks at a second hand store.

(p.s. I'm liking this blog-comment thing)
