At least they didn't tell you that the life of the instrument ended
when the transformer failed. In 1982 or so I tried to return
some failed Verbatim Datalife 5.25-inch single-sided floppy disks which
had a "lifetime warranty". Verbatim told me that if the disk wasn't
working, it's lifetime had expired. I never bought another Verbatim
product.
ROFLMAO. I've heard that punchline before, but I think this is the first
time I've ever heard of it being used In Real Life. Maybe you paraphrased
them? :)
