I in fact got the use of a very decent Logitech keyboard and mouse
for 5 years for the cost of that money for that time just by choosing
a mouse that they didnt continue to produce, claiming under warranty
just before the warranty expired and since they couldnt replace the
mouse with another with the same button collection etc, they had to
give me a full refund of the original purchase price instead.

Along those lines I always enjoyed the hard drive failure (3 year
warranty) that happened just shortly before that 3 years was up since
the company would no longer have that 20GB HD, you get a considerably
bigger one to replace it.

a couple of years ago a well placed japanese engineer in japan, told me that
manufacturers in japan were studying how to get products to fail early,
especially after the guarantee expires.
