Peering at my electronic phone, and over it at this electronic big screen TV I've had since forced to go digital, l am mystified as to how these and other much more "antique" household appliances manage to whir on, and trains with the earliest "boards", to the latest, can have the lifespans of dayflies? Conversely, l bet that first electric display Mr. Cowen put in that dept. store window is running in somebody's collection. The KISS rule applied to the old trains, but definitely not to this TV or phone.
