Appropriate then that this is posted under an [EE] Evil Empires
tag. What truth is there really to planned obsolescence ? Any
proven examples ? Light bulbs and tyres spring to mind as
products widely believed to be "improvable"

btw, as I travel around I pop into the odd electrical wholesaler
and always leave a copy of my bulb life web page and some
comments from the list (anonymous of course) about extending
filament bulb life. Had a few "ooohs" from counter staff as they
realised the implications
