[quote=FlyerInHi]I was talking to my neighbor about watching the Price is Right as a child. The appliance giveaways elicited oohhs and aahhs. Nobody cares anymore. Just replace the appliances when they break.

When you buy a house, it’s good idea to have a home warranty that will cover plumbing leaks, etc… You never know what you encounter when you move in. The policy is cheap when ordered through agent/escrow, and most of time the seller pays.

I wouldn’t recommend renewing the policy yearly though.[/quote]

i just bought a vintage mint condition IBM slectric. not sure how old it is..probably 40plus years…my kids were enchanted. they were unfamiliar with the “return” key. it’s got a type ball that punches the hell out fo the paper.

someone’s gramma died and didn’t want it. it even comes with a vintage perfect condition plastic cover. so beautiful…so olive ina color…

i am going to type some serious shit on that.

engineer student kid was loving the build quality. interesting difference in tolerances in construction, from say, an ipad… weighs a ton…hums like a washing machine

also, the thing can be heard throughout the house.
