On the flip side, Tektronix no longer honors their 'lifetime' warrenty
on oscilloscope transformers, even though there's plenty of 400 and 500
series scopes out there. They claim that the products are 'beyond their
useful lives' even though they work just ducky. I mother****ing hate
them for that - I'll NEVER buy a Tek scope (not like the new ones are
any good)

BTW, Snap-On really DOES mean lifetime on their handtools - my dad's
replaced 30+ year old stuff that's broken...
