I started in the automotive industry many moons ago=2C and since the early=
90's I've watched Microsoft copy their "planned obsolecence" ideals=2C ver=
y similarly to the auto-industry=2C (specifically manufacturing).

ing that car away in 5 years anyway just like a "Bic" butane lighter.

to work really well and last longer than my coffee=2C then they wouldn't ev=
en be 1/1=2C000th as rich as they are today.
