'Modern' is an adjective used by and on people subject to the

influence of advertising and PR.  "All New!"  "Now in an Orange

Box"  "We've changed our logo!"  Engineering adjectives are:

correct, useful, secure, high-performance, low-latency, scalable,

small footprint, etc.  These are challenging adjectives in that

they demand that someone be able to evaluate and compare technical

attributes, not merely read a calendar.
