That must have been before universal health care (in most rich countries)
and HMOs + sky-high malpractice insurance premiums (in the U.S.). General
practitioners are not exactly lining up at the food banks, yet, but they're
hardly the ones with the big houses or new cars any more, and they probably
won't be the ones buying the new glass-panel contraptions.
On the other hand, a lot of people in tech made a lot of money before the
dot.com bubble burst, and many of those people now have (a) a lot of money
saved and (b) a lot of unexpected free time on their hands. I think that a
more appropriate name from the newer composite planes like the SR-22 would
be the one in the subject line.
All the best,
David
