Where will Oscilloscopes and DMM's be in 10yrs ?

That's my point. These are all little aspects that make using the oscilloscope enjoyable and the money worth spending. It seems you have to forcefully give up on something, while implementing such stuff would be quite easy for the manufacturers.

No statistics. I'm not gonna do paper calculations for such trivial stuff after having spent 600$ for the damn scope.

Paper? You don't own a calculator?  :)

Do you know exactly how often you'll need those?

By saying paper I mean paper and a calculator. I'm not gonna press pesky buttons on a calculator when almost any scope does those calcs automatically. And I need them quite often.

It is being done in the computer industry. My PC's are not loud at all, because I invested in a quiet CPU cooler and fan less power supplies.

Exactly... They could make it silent at little or no cost at all.  |O

And, as I said elsewhere, the pc workstation I built is much more silent than a commercial A-brand workstation (that costs 2X at the very least) with the same specs. That's because I implemented good airflow, sensors, and bought quality fans.

BAd engineering should not pass for 'normal' or even 'a necessary evil'.
coppice:
Lots of things might happen to oscilloscopes in the next 10 years. However, nothing much has happened to DMMs in the last 30 years, except who makes the popular ones. Why would that change in the next 10 years?
balnazzar:
The same stands for the VESA mount. How does it cost to drill four holes in the back and make it just a bit more sturdy? Nothing.

The scope wouldn't get in your way, and its use would be 10X more ergonomic.

But no. I'm asking too much.
