When did Maytag start to go bad?

^Repeatedly say the folks posting messages via electronic devices to a discussion board that exists as electronics.

Seems a bit ironic using electronic means to spread the word that electronics are bad, no?

Everything with electronics is prone to failure, that's a fact.
It gave me employment for decades.
Even home computers.
Even that spaceship that the astronaut said: "Houston, we have a problem!"

Well, I don't. If it hadn't been for Whirlpool, Maytag would've been worse off.

Whirlpool did Maytag in. Cough Ralf F. Hake Cough...

And add to the fact that Electrolytic capacitors literally have a shelf life. So the moment you purchase anything electronic its the equivalent of purchasing a fruit or vegetable. It will go bad just sitting there no matter how pretty it looks.
