@windigo I've noticed a disturbing trend; manufacturers replace the old model with a "new" "improved" model that isn't. Either it performs worse than the old one, or is so shoddy you will have to replace it soon. I know appliances older than I am (my dad's refrigerator still works) but today's appliances are only built to last 5 - 10 years. I hope such thinking isn't happening in the free software world.
