40 years ago, you can only have this transitor tube TV. You switch it on,
and wait for centuries for the B/W screen appear. Nobody got an axe. And,
that's not a design flaw.
There are a lot of single purpose computer appliances with a instant-on
"design", such as switches, ADSL routers, etc. Check it out, they all bear
a processor inside.
There's a way to burn a working OS into CD-ROM, today. With the same
concept, you can taylor build a PC with a working OS hard burn in the ROM.
Try that, and see what you have lost.
It's not a design stuff. The technology just not there yet.
Whether your Pioneer is a design flaw depends on how smart, not how stupid,
it mean to be. If it just an ordinary DVD, you may use your axe. If it
designed
to have more advance functions, like recording to hardisk and write DVD-RW,
you've just purchased those kind of functions too early.
