I don't like it but if they make things to last a long time then they can't sell as many as they do. I've been told by a couple of repair persons some computers are made to only last a bit past their warranties. Bet it's the same with TVs, fridges, w&d, etc. I think the day of appliances lasting for 20 plus years is long gone and 'ain't' coming back. If we aren't buying new products then how many workers out of our country are no longer working. That said with TIC (tongue in cheek) which in itself is a stupid statement! ;-P
