  You should understand marketing speech. Everything is new when the
market decides it's new.

  I laughed some years ago when they introduced a really revolutionary and
innovative new concept: Dumb terminals. Of course the marketing speech didn't
say that dumb terminals have existed for something like 30 years (and fallen
mostly out of use by about the mid-90's).
