Alas my
expeerience suggests the reverse. Back when computers were
expensive, and chips were expensive, the manufacutrers took the >>trouble
to put all sorts of protectinon in their machines to protect said
expensive decices in the event of a failure. Now they don't bother.
I would suspect that a younger crop of engineers coming up might have >some bearing on
