Even when I was a kid, every time I played a vinyl record, my patented Wank-O-Meter™ went wild. They seemed _soooo_ primitive. I couldn't have envisoned digital audio - I thought that magnetic tape was the ultimate and only way to reproduce sound. I too am not holding my breath for something new to replace speakers in my lifetime, but knowing my luck, they'll come up with something just about the time my hearing starts to fail from old age

The "Next" speaker which uses random 'wiggles' across a flat surface kind of seems like a diversionary wank to me.

Like they say "If we _used to_ be able to send men to the moon......"
