Oh, I'm positive that in the last ten to fifteen years they started deliberately designing things (esp. electronics, but not confined to them) to break down after only a few years. It's really, really obnoxious. Instead of designing things so that they'd be more appealing because of features or whatnot... But that is part of this disposable lifestyle we've created.
Oops. I'll just get off my little soapbox now. Sorry bout that. ;-)
