Take Air Conditioners. They used to be expensvie as hell and weigh a ton. They actually blew colder air than the new ones today. My friend has a Frigidaire AC from the 70s at his house and it can freeze you out in no time. He also has a new LG made AC in his bedroom and it barely keeps up. they're so cheap and plastic, less than $100 can get you a small room AC and if it breaks, chuck it and get a new one.

I don't disagree. But wives want what wives want, and there is no point in arguing it. She doesn't give me any grief about my weird camera or wristwatch or stereo collections, and she cooks my dinner - so if she wants a new range, then who am I to argue?
