Modern things/gadgets are not made to last. The manufacturers want it to break and have you buy new stuff to keep their revenue going..

Planned obsolence is a malicious felony of the worst kind and must be treated as such. (sneering menacingly at companies making smartphones, white electronics, etc.)

Anyway, I wish my mint HP 50g (and my other machines, too) lasts for my lifetime, upto the next century, hopefully!
