nah no 5-8 years... just like any product, I'd make the best most informed decision I could based on my information gathering, buy it, try it and if it didn't live up to expectations trade it or sell it to someone else who wanted one and get something else.
I'm playing games with the thing not marrying it.
It's not the internet's fault per se and I as am as watchful and alert to bullshit as anyone you meet, I also happen to be an optimist so I give people the benefit of the doubt.
That benefit of the doubt along with a healthy bullshit detector is what to me, has disappeared.. I understand why people and the dynamic has changed, I'm just saying it was more fun for all of us before full blown cynicism become normal.
