... and due to good QC, they do still work. I picked up an old B&W G3  
a little over a year ago for $35 for the sole purpose of running  
legacy OS9 software. I'm in the process of "stuffing" a Blueberry iMac  
I picked up for free, full of educational and other software my family  
has outgrown to give to a single mom who's never had a computer in the  
house. I have no idea how long it will last, but the mother can't wait  
to give it to her kids.

To me that's a sign of good quality control. QC isn't about wether or  
not something has a given feature, but wether or not there's "quality"  
in the features its designed to have.
