Ahhh, what ever happened to those good old Packard-Bell radios
that they sold in the 'Thirties?

Big solid tubes, tough steel chassis, nice mahogany cabinets. That's
the way computers should be built. Get rid of all those artsy-fartsy
integrated circuits, junky software, tinny modems, plastic boxes.

Sure would make my life easier.
