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.

We're saying appliances and electronics don't mix. This is especially true when you're dealing with heat and moisture.

Exactly. It was never stated that computers and the Internet and this forum shouldn't be electronic. lol. It's the over "elecronification" of everything, even where it isn't necessary or beneficial, that's the problem. A computer? Sure, that can be electronic. A washing machine? There's no reason for it.
