You've all heard the saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to". What, in your opinion fits that description these days?

Any appliance. They used to last for lifetimes now people keep them about 5 to 10 years.

Slide rules.......Come to think of it, they don't even make them anymore.

Computer Software.  They keep change'n them just to keep cash flow flow'n -- in their direction.

Refrigerators. I traded a bag of home grown for a used fridge over twenty years ago. It is in a place that we rent out and it still works fine. My daughter had one that was 2 or maybe 3 years old and I had to replace a part of the auto defrost system. (burned out heater coil) We bought one about 5 years ago. I had to replace parts on it right after the one year warranty was up.

Anything with moving parts - so much seems to be made of plastic these days (and seems to break because of this!)

Coffee makers, or maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find one that lasts like the old ones used to...

I solved that problem.  Distilled water.
