Lord only knows if it will last 200 or even 100. I wanted one so badly made
in Italy, but alas it is China.

I'll bet Wayne's is made in Italy. I've been so jealous that he's had one
because I wanted one so badly in the 70's when he bought his (I think) they
were popular, but the price in dollars then compared to now was tremendous.
I'm glad his has lasted so well.

Amortizing machines is out -- I figure my appliances are the cost of wasted
dinners out that I don't bother with anymore. :-))
