Comment on Why Nothing Works Anymoreparent

Comments

Microwave ovens used to have a single analog knob that was a timer. They were a joy to use, but you can't buy them any more. Now all microwaves have dozens of buttons, only one of which I ever use: Popcorn. If I need less time than actual popcorn, I just have to watch the damn thing and open the door early. It's ridiculous.

FYI, you can still buy commercial microwaves with knob controls and an absence of useless buttons.

Last time I checked I didn't find any but thanks for the info. I'll look again.
