To be fair, if you are lucky enough to qualify for
Verizon FIOS, you
won't ever want to use a modem. 30mb/s downstream to the house...
And presumably once you get a new surround-sound system you'll never want
to listen to a vlaved radio again.
Once you get a modern Pentium (or whatever) PC, you'll never want to use
an 8 bit micro, or a PDP11, or... again.
