RE: Commission acts to guarantee UK Consumer rights under the Guarantees Directive

>How do you think they beat inflation and lower the end cost?

Yeah, I know. It's the sad tale of engineering abused. It seems today's
concept of research and development is more about Ford style systematic
weakenning of a design. Rather than building a better mousetrap, the
plan
seems to be to build the very worst mousetrap you can possibly get away
with..

>Oh and paying more these days does not guarantee better
quality/reliability
IME. ;)

I would say I have to agree, and the great problem is that whilst there
are
many internet review sites which wil give honest answers about things
like
mobos and graphics cards in terms of quality and performance, the
various
shopping engines for appliances care only about price.

Then again Ken, you must be in a pretty cool position to crunch some
stats
on which models break most often, and which faults come up time and
again...
