Has Westinghouse Learned from Tech History?
So you DID buy a computer in 1990? If I'm reading your logic correctly, you should have waited until 2010 before ever touching one.
Unlike computers, solar panels produce usable electricity, and in 20 year they will still be doing so, and even still be under warranty for 5 more years. And we can also project that the cost of the electricity being produced will be worth money when fed to the grid.
I hear this objection a lot in my PV sales work, but I'm not sure it's an argument that should halt PV deployment until it's "too cheap to meter". The rigid solar panel has its place here and now, but go ahead and wait for the perfect model if you choose.

News Comments Sections are Killing Solar's Reputation. Why You Should Give a Shiny Penny.
Excellent call-to-action Fred.
My personal crusade is countermanding the "Earth4Energy" people who impersonate solar informers on the web, fooling people like you and me left and right unless you dig in and block 'em. Build your own solar panel? Yeah, right.
But being proactive on comment sections is another solemn duty we should all perform, thanks for pointing it out.
