Damn... And I thought the one I had was small. I think they're engineering technological gadgets to be smaller and smaller so that they're easier to lose and you have to buy new ones on a regular basis.

It's a conspiracy man!!! A CONSPIRACY!!! :-p

It wasn't that exact quote but Heinlein said "Any sufficiently advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic." Was that it?

That was in Glory Road, yes? But it's not the quote I was thinking of :) Good catch, though!

Also:

Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

First Corollary: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
