I do too, but I just don't see it happening with the market. After a company has established a reputation for quality, it's too tempting for a business leader to cut corners and reap a short-term windfall before their customers figure out they're not getting what they're paying for.

You'd think that with so much money sloshing around the Valley in the last 20 years, someone would be making super high-end, artisanal hardware.
