more a matter of "mass produceability".  It's like for
processors... IBM produced transistors working at frequencies
superior to 10 gHz like what... 15 years ago? That was for
single, stand alone transistors. Yet, 15 years later, the
fastest processors runs at what? 3.5 gHz, give or take.  Even
though they can build a single transistor that operates at 10+
gHz, they can't cram 1 billions of them in a chip smaller than
your thumb's fingernail, that are stable at 10 gHz and don't
overheat.  I'm not saying planned obsolescence is not a reality.
It does exists. But the main reason of the slow progress in many
areas is usually more a question of manufacturing process
lagging behind.  RE: That's great and all, but... By retrospooty
