Never had to pull apart a controller to fix a stuck button? Never has to
replace an AC adapter because the cord frayed apart? Never had a game
cartridge fall on the floor and snap in half? My, what a wonderful world
of reliable consumer devices you must live in...
Oh, sorry... I shouldn't be so sarcastic.

Indeed. The majority of us are nothing if not patient while waiting for
various squirrelly-topic discussions to wind down. I don't mind digging
through the crap in the dumpster to uncover the good stuff. It's when the
crap:content ratio gets too high that it's time to call in the dogs. In
reality, we're really quite a helpful bunch of monkeys.
Now where did I leave my cup of poutine?
