planned obsolescence

An interesting idea. Car manufacturers (and mechanical engineers) have been specialists in that area. The modern view is if you make a car that doesn't last 15 yrs and 200K miles, you do not buy that car.

Unless your some hot shot with money to burn and just want to impress the "babes". Of course...by the very nature of that problem...there are very few customers.

So the second hand car market in the UK is in the dumps. I could pick up a nice reliable car for less money then the yearly insurance rate. Thats OK in my book. -g-

As far as I know, ...planned obsolescence.. has not been part of the chip industry. Obsolescence occurred naturally in PC's etc. I understand the concern though.

It's a matter of trust...
