I don't know about intended but I have a Sony ICF-5500 transistor radio that I bought around about 1973. It's still working and it still gets used more or less every day.
Opposed to the five Asus motherboards that have developed faults/died on me during the last two years.
"Householders chuck out 6.7m tonnes of unwanted food every year at a cost to us of £8bn. That's the equivalent of chucking out one bag of food for every three that we buy."
You forgot "user generated content" a lot of games on the PC come with their own SDK/Mapping tools and have done so for many years. Can you do that on consoles?

I tend to use the hot-key option accessed via a shortcuts properties. Only works with shortcuts that are on the desktop or in the start menu IIRC.

A floater.
Idly pissing the time away.

Also in the UK, to have a Slash is to have a piss.
"Even "Crying Game" didn't surprise me because I recognized the actor from "Stargate"."
I thought that Crying Game was released way before Stargate, or was that just in the UK?
Don't forget my thirteen year old LaserJet 4L that still works perfectly.

"Maybe in a less independantly minded country 70% is the case, but on this side of the pond the best response you will get is laughter."
Also, on this side of the pond independently minded doesn't mean not giving a shit.
You guys get all the best deals. Here in the UK it would be £999.99
