OK. All that’s fine, but do you remember when you had to wait for the full number of rings before you knew whether it was for you or your neighbor? Do you remember having to drive the new car no faster than 30 MPH until the engine had “worked in”? How about ordering something from a catalog? Two weeks from when you sent in the order until the (wrong) order arrived. Then two weeks after you complained before they sent you a form to fill about the problem that didn’t have an option for what the problem WAS. Then two weeks for them to reply that it wasn’t their fault. And two weeks after you sicked a lawyer on them before they agreed to send the right thing. And two weeks more for it to arrive. So if you needed a part, you had to order it more than TWO MONTHS in advance of need. Ah, those were the days!
