OT: PC Motherboard with a vacuum tube

Quothe Tony Duell, from writings of Sat, Sep 07, 2002 at 12:53:44AM +0100: I'll bet that as well. Most modern equipment is apparently designed to transmogrify into useless rubbish in only a few years time; hence, we're seeing steady decreases in product quality in most electronic equipment, if one considers product quality to include repairability and the ability to obtain necesary parts for repairs in a few to 40 or more years. Once someone purchases electronic equipment, one should be able to continue using it for as long as one wants, and be able to repair it whenever necessary... of course, that should also apply to most things, such as refridgerators, cars, washing machines, furnaces, radios, televisions, etc. Is not obsolescence is a concept which needs to become obsolete? I propose that we form a Society for the Obsolecence of Obsolescence, and I jest not. -- Copyright (C) 2002 R. D.
