Evolution of the Apple Mouse

You know though... every washing machine my family has owned with a mechanical timer/sequencer eventually died and needed replacement. My last dishwasher (with electronic controls, but mechanical sequencing/timing) the sequencer started getting flakey. Somethings mechanical good, somethings not so much. ________________________________ From: Chuck Guzis <cclist at sydex.com> To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Wed, September 29, 2010 3:25:45 PM Subject: Re: Evolution of the Apple Mouse Somewhat on-topic and coincidental, EDN's "Prying Eyes" series looks at a nearly-40-year-old Sharp microwave oven and marvels at the simplicity and robust design. What I gather from the article is that the oven still works fine: http://bit.ly/dA6bSM What's notable is the electromechanical timer. How many microwave ovens made 20 years later with electronic controls are still functional? --Chuck
