Why? Waste? Your? Time?

what is the fascination here with moribund or already dead horses? By
shifting to 'modern technology' - at least in this case - not only is
one reducing landfill (however many mercury-containing lamps) but
reducing energy used and increasing reliability. A cheap thing that
one uses 10 of is not so cheap as that bit-more-expensive-thing that
one uses 1 of.

The fixture in question is not a valuable museum-piece, but a tool.
And the idea is to continue using it as a tool, rather than tossing
it into landfill.


Yeah, I'll get one of those. But what will I do with the new tube I
bought A*WEEK before the damn switch went? FRAK!

Of course the new tube was only $10.
