On the other hand, I bristle when I see "No
customer-serviceable
components inside". How do they bloody know what I can service?
'No user serviceable parts inside' is, I suppose technically correct. On
the grounds that when I am servicing or repairing it, it's broken, and
therefore I can't be the user of it. :-)
If you really want to get me fuming, then simply say 'You're not trained
to repair <foo>'. No, I am not. Iv'e never been on any training course in
my life. On the other hand, I am darn sure I can repair any electrical or
mechancial device given the necessary informaion. Period. I do not need
'special training' to fit a gear in a piece of office machinery, when,
I've been working with gears since before I went to scheol, and darn it, I
could cut said gear from scratch if I had to.
