  12. important for marketing/adoption • this is not a tool most people will use on a daily basis • but when you need it you're glad its there and just works • infrequent unplanned use: user needs to know it exists when the need pops up • frequent use: need is usually more "planned" • expensive? What does a gene sequencer cost?
