I wish the economics of mass production didn't turn pennies into millions that need to be eliminated, because I've always thought the "don't disconnect from power" and "update bricks it" type problems could be solved by having extra EPROM to download into, the way linux keeps the previous kernel around after an update. Or at least the ability to re-init/download from scratch, like a borked macbook disk. And hey, not the extra ability to do that, make it "the way it works" so you're always testing it.
