Default I QUIT - no more vintage sewing machines

I'm over it.
Maybe I have flipped out or otherwise lost my marbles.
I have decided to quit on the vintage and antique sewing machines - I'm done.
I'm not messing around with any more vintage sewing machines - I've had it.
I fully realize no more of those vintage sewing machines will ever be made - I hear that some of those new ones practically sew it for you. I want one.
I want one that stops where I tell it to.
I want one that doesn't need to have the tension adjusted - not ever - nope I'm done.
I want a nice looking straight stitch on there but
I want one that does decorative stitches that my DGKs will love.
I want one that will cut the edges and sew seams all at one time.
I want one that isn't funky colored - white is so much easier on the eye.
I'm sick of decals. No more for me.
No more cracked or crumbling wires.
AND I want a foot pedal or a knee controller that never gets too hot.
No more odd sized needles.
I want something that doesn't weigh 35 lbs.
NO I DON'T want a Featherweight not even in white - scrap metal....
My foot is too sore to treadle - even on a good day those treadles only want to go the wrong way for me anyway.
I'm tired of trying to find parts.
I'm tired of trying to find disks - why not just push a couple buttons.
OK I'm over it. I'm done.
Here are a start for my new herd:
