Indeed. They are still finding them when the house burns to the

The EARLY aluminum wire was awfull. The later stuff is OK with the
proper switches and receptacles, which did NOT exist when aluminum
wiring was common. I don't like the stuff, but my home was wired with
it and I'm NOT rewiring it. I am, however, replacing all devices with
co/alr devices.
