It's Come To This???
What some people will do to buy cheap plastic s*&#it from China, and to buy it cheaper... unless you count in the value of human life being trampled by greed.
Rather than stop and think some bold thought like "maybe STUFF is overrated" ... those same people lined up hundreds deep to do it again the next day.

- Average age of my newest vehicles: 16.5 years
- Average age of my farm trucks : 41 years
- Age of my desktop computer: 8-10 years, with occasional upgrades - the last being a motherboard and a DVD burner 3 years ago; the notebook computer is 2 years old (it's embarrassingly young); the servers are 6-10 years old
- Age of my clothes: more than old enough to embarrass my Head Lady
- Age of my I-Pod: 0 (I don't have one)
- My most exotic kitchen appliance: a blender, more than 15 years old
- My newest tool: chainsaw, 7 years old (the one I used for 20 years finally died); actually, that's not true: I have a new multi-meter - after the old one (30 years old) went into hiding
Quite frankly, I have too much stuff.... average number of complaints about my stuff: practically none, ever.
Don't forget to visit BlackBox, the best of tech talk (in plain English), and please read/honor the legal stuff in the left-hand pane of this page
