Is It Just Me?

Things are more reliable now??

I have a 40 year old air rifle and 70 year old binoculars that work fine.

My 20 year old zx spectrum has worked faultlessly since the day I bought it. My PCs break right left and centre.

My 20 year old Izuzu car is far more reliable (and easier, quicker and cheaper to fix) than my 3 year old Merc. More MPG too.

Every electrical product I buy these days, from toasters to TVs to washing machines, breaks within two years, Suppliers hide behind unanswered premium rate phone lines, spare parts are impossible to source, support engineers are an endangered species.

Its a brave new world alright, but reliability and quality are long dead.
