My wife was reading that the average expected time for your home computer is 5 years. She sells appliances at a major box store and always reccomend that customers buy the extended warranty as these things arn't designed to last.
Look at what you get today even in guns, todays guns are stocked in some form of plastic, there are rubber panels where checkering is supposed to be and they look like something out of Star Wars. This goes for shotguns and rifles. We as a country have lost the air of nostalgia and taking some pride in what we produce.
I'll just keep my antique (solid Oak) furniture, my Parkers and Pre 64 M70 Winchesters or I'll have it custom built. One way or another it's Made in America with some pride.
