My wife last week was bemoaning the "death" of her 36 year old Maytag washer. All the usual they don't make 'em like they use to and all the other phrases one can make for how great things were BITD (back in the day).
Now that she has her new washer she is finding that she actually likes it and might even have wished to have gotten a new washer sooner instead. Sort of like I was when I went from a 1990's era bike to a 2020 bike. Despite all the great rides my old bikes were, the new bike is so much more fun to ride.
