And since the show is musically solid from "You're the Top" to "Take Me Back to Manhattan," all complaints have got to be qualified, if not out of existence, then temporarily...

Scientists are already talking about cryogenic technology that will make possible transmission lines that conduct electricity without power losses, switching elements that make computers incredibly faster and smaller, and high-speed trains that float on magnetic cushions...
...switching device many times faster (and many times smaller) than the solid-state semiconductors now used computers. With cryogenic techniques, a closet-size computer could fit in a shoe box. Cryogenics will also make possible such esoteric devices as loss-free superconductive motors with rotors that float in liquid helium, and superconductive gyroscopes that float in frictionless magnetic fields...
