Interesting choice in response Mr. Sachs. I guess the xerox machine makes copies cheaper and more efficiently than the mimeograph, but in both cases, strictly speaking, the content of the original is accurately copied, so I'm not sure the xerox makes 'better' copies, of words, at least.

Instead, let's try: "what's wrong with a 1970 Ferrari 275GTB?

Hmmm, well, I guess you could buy a 2002 Toyota with more horsepower, more sophisticated suspension and brakes. I suppose most current sports cars with lots of electronic do-dads make incredible performance for less money. But if one really knows how to drive a fast car at the edge of it's ability, I think they'd take the Ferrari. I would.
