This sentiment keeps popping up. It's a failure of vision. To suggest
that "single people" or "ordinary people" or any other set of presumably
average and uninteresting people will never be able to fully utilise the
amazing properties of X, and that they can and should be satisfied with
some limited version of X or the even more limited alternative Y, is to
completely miss the point. And to actually provide no more than that is
to build a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I see a potential market for perhaps hundreds of aircraft in the coming century.

And just possibly for more than seven computers on the continent. 
*Any* continent.
