Yeah you're right, the fact they lasted that long changes my mind about their value

There's a lot of technology that people should spend more money on, in order to save money.

Home networking, as an example. People generally won't spend more than $100 ish, to get a wireless router that they expect will service their whole home for years and years. And in some circumstances, maybe that happens, chances are, you're heading back to Walmart/bestbuy/wherever to pick up a new router in a couple of years.

I have business grade gear or better, and I bought most of this stuff years and years ago, and I have no stability issues nor any need to upgrade. I expect that will remain the case for many years to come. While others are out upgrading their wireless router because of one reason or another, I'm enjoying stable, and fast, network access.

The insane thing, to me is that people will spend upwards of $100 a month to have high speed Internet to their door, but then won't spend $100 a year for a way to get that Internet into their devices. Insanity.
