That would be virtual sacrifices. I like to keep old things going hence me
using Outlook Express Google eternally moan about it, but their replacement
is about as user friendly as a porcupine.

I was trying to think of all the sacrificial things. Sacrificial anodes on
ships, yes. But... how about the face of a wooden mallet? Because the
reason it's wood is because steel would be too hard. Because the wood is
softer it's more likely to get damaged. Stretching a point? A wooden
gramophone needle, which wears out quickly but doesn't damage the shellac?
Can anyone think of sacrificial things?

Nearly all consumer goods apart from consumable, to include software
which incorporate built in obsolescence so as to persuade consumers
to purchase new improved or redesigned models or versions every few years
thus allowing manufacturers to stay in business servicing a saturated
market.
