I think you're right. My first microwave was a Litton and it lasted 17 years
of heavy use and cost about $450. Do the math...maybe we are better off
now???

Yeah, $450 -now- is a lot (for me) to spend on a microwave. Back then,
that is like spending, well, a lot more (i have no idea about the dollar
relation). I had a sharp carosel I left at my last work place. I assume
it is still working. From ~1984. One dial.
