Hah, I had to laugh when I bit my tongue and paid extra for a coax cable at Radio Shack as it was convenient at the time and I was trying to make a purchase there once in a while to show some support. I felt like I was slapped in the face when the guy at the register tried to offer me a "1 year extended warranty, for only 2 bucks". On a cable... a freaking cable... I just laughed and shook my head, I really should have just told him to cancel the sale on an already overpriced cable, but I guess I'm learning I might just have to let some things go, like radio shack in general. Sorry to hijack the conversation, but yeah, I'm sure like everything, electronics will eventually fail. I just try to get the most lifetime out of mine before they're obsoleted (which seems to happen faster than the device fails). -Joel On Friday, May 9, 2014 6:18 PM, "tclug at freakzilla.com" <tclug at freakzilla.com> wrote: On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 9:29 PM, paul g <pj.world at hotmail.com> wrote: > Some years ago when I bought my wireless router the salesperson told me > they wear out after some time.

I'm betting the phrase "Extended Warranty" was uttered shortly after. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
