sebastian,
i was just refering to the abuse that small items take (ie. my boom box gets more banged up than my refrigerator)
and i was encouraging thought for user repairable designs--
the cock roaches, well they are out for your blood
-no joke.
--by cockroaches i just ment lasting as long as they can.
(nuclear survivors)
i guess we are two ships passing in the night
best wishes
