My wife has been kind of annoying lately when things break down. No matter how simple the issue, she ALWAYS brings up replacement as well as repair. "Your computer has been restarting at random? Maybe you should get a new one..." - I can't keep track of how many times I've had to remind her that computers (at least desktops) are EXTREMELY repairable. Or our garage door recently broke. Can't remember if a replacement was brought up then (probably) but a $15 gear set fixed that up just fine. That other one had the main drive gear turn into plastic powder. Thankfully that one is up and running again.
