What is Anticipointment?

Filed in archive Wireless Living by Rico Mossesgeld on June 12, 2007

It seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Here's something from the first edition of Using Information Technology, a thick "practical introduction to computers & communication" written way back in 1995:

Anticipointment, as Berkley, California, editor Hank Roberts explained in an online computer conference, is a word coined "to describe always finding that, just as the techie-toy I've been dreaming about getting for six months has become affordable, there's something so much better on the horizon that I guess I have to wait just a bit longer."

Maybe the only difference today is that six months is nowadays as short as weeks or even days?
