Abstract
In the 1980s, when we hear the term “high technology,” we immediately think of electronics. In a world with satellite television, compact disc players, electronic appointment-calendar wristwatches, and powerful desktop computers, we are surrounded with seeming miracles of electronic technology.

Customers for really high-perfor-mance electronics have the same thought in the backs of their minds: modern electronics can do anything.
