What a wonderful phrase: “Gadget value.” I just stumbled upon it in an old history text book and instantly fell in love with the term . . .

Cable has massive Gadget Value, and even though I don’t have a statistic to support that claim, I’m pretty sure it’s true.
Furthermore, I suspect that’s why people have been so responsive to it. Gadget Value is important.
