was thinking how some old game consoles only have one remote and no game.. or a different tv adaptor that is not yet current to all tv's... also having to buy crap like remote just to use the DVD feature..
A few years ago I took the empty propane tank from my Weber gas grill into a Home Depot to have it refilled. I was told then that tanks are no longer made with the quick-release latch, so I had to buy a whole new propane tank. Fine. As I'm about to walk out of the store, it occured to me that the hose from the grill to the tank may also have changed, so patting myself on the back for thinking ahead (instead of discovering this when I got home), I bought a new hose.
When I got home, I discovered that the old hose could not be detached from the grill. In effect: I would have to buy a whole new gas grill simply because that lil' ol' tank latch was changed.
I was so pissed, I have yet to buy a new grill.
