Even better that you never owned one (the key here being no longer owning

Yeah! Since I got mine in about 80 or 81 for about $50. I remember thinking
when I picked it up "Ah, Doric, like ancient Greece." After a few days I
thought "what the hell's wrong with this thing?" So I opened it up, and sure
enough ... ancient grease! Yep, the Dork name came pretty quickly.
