I must agree, the workmanship was much higher when computers, and consumer
electronics in general were considered an investment, rather than a cheap
disposable device that'l Be thrown out with the next fad.  Everything was built
like tanks, with heavy metal (haha, no pun intended) cases.  Most of my stuff
was free or inexpensive second hand, yet it was top of the line back in the
day, and will outlast the junk people spend more money on buying new.  But
sadly, many people dont plan to keep their current purchases, as they'll just
wastefully throw it out for something newer but of lower quality, for a
television ad told them to.
