Good, that keeps the prices down for those that appreciate a quality
appliance. Compare that old stuff to the mass market crap today and
you may be surprised. Yes, the convection ovens today are better, but
those old burners could put out lots of heat and had a rugged design

Yes, I do have a Motorola Atrix, but at home, I still go to the corded
phone with the higher quality handset. You really can't beat them for
both hearing and speaking.
