Hi, Roy and All;
 
 CH> Old tech was before "planned obsellessance" became widespread 
 CH> and manufacturing started building in the "wear-out factor" by 
 CH> using sub-standard parts. 
 
 CH> A 1955 car was expected to last at LEAST 10 years. A 1995 car 
 CH> is expected to start falling apart in just over five. Some 
 CH> progress, eh?
 
But I can't AFFORD anything newer than a 10-year-old car!  :-{
 
 RJT> Yeah.
 RJT> What's wrong with this picture?
 
It has been said that the ideal invention is the common flashlight
battery:  It serves a necessary purpose and it's guarenteed to wear out,
thereby generating repeat business!  (Rechargable batteries nullify this
to some extent).
 
Catch you later...
   Ivy
