Gary,
I agree the EMV is a clever piece of kit but wouldn't consider it new technology as there is nothing new about any of what it does, just that a number of systems have been combined into one, which is innovative.
I also don't think that people are resistant to new technology, we are one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.
I'm put off the Texatherm system because of the cooling pad as opposed to a constantly heated pad with Dry fusion or Thermadry and also because I hate it when people say they are going to get back to you with more information and prices and then forget about you. No matter how good the product, the service has to be good too - very disappointing.
