In Reply to: Since when did the definition of "early adopter" expand to include "sucker" as one of it's meanings? posted by Audiophilander on October 16, 2007 at 22:11:05:
You adopt a new operating system and you're screwed. You buy a new PC and 17 months later you can get one twice as powerful for half the price. You adopt SACD early and you're locked out of multichannel capabilities and your old firmware causes your player to emit a blast of digital noise at the end of many hybrid discs.
The examples go on and on and on. Welcome to the digital age.
