I've gone through a few blenders, Waring blenders, but the Osterizer I bought, geez must be 15 years ago is still chugging away. I've done things with it that would have burned out a Waring long ago. I'd be on my 25th Waring by now probably.

CPUs, never failed
Video cards, well I had at least one killed by a motherboard gone mad. That mobo killed off a PSU too before it was done.
HDs, none have died and I've had many, but I RMAed one that was showing bad sectors after less than a year.
Never had bad memory
DVD/CD drives? Some have worked better than others but can't remember a failure.

Is it the old kind with the analog clock? I hate to tell you but it may put out a lot of EMFs. I tested mine and it did and I figured I shouldn't sleep with my head within a couple of feet of it. I wound up ripping the clock out of it and throwing away the rest. It's handy to have an analog clock around for when the power goes out. It shows the exact time the power went off until it starts up again. After the power starts up, the lag from current time tells you how long the power was off. It has a plug in the back and I could use it to turn on equipment if I wanted to (used to use it for that). It sits in my kitchen.

My favorite briefcase/messenger bag. Tom Bihn Empire Builder. Never a problem with anything, zippers always work right, water never gets in (due to great zipper design), shoulder strap always ends up in the proper position, no rips, tears, or cuts (heavy build quality). It's worth every penny. And I really do load it down a lot every single day.

No, it's digital. But why would a clock radio have a stronger EMF than, say, a computer monitor or something?

When I get the late night munchies... ramen works every time. Quick and simple to make, there's nothing better for the situation.

I think it must be the electric motor that runs the clock. Major EMFs in mine. Probably over 2 milligauss at 2 feet from it.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to post this.

I came in here to post this. So once again, it never fails.

Very nice video but the song really sucks, sorry.

I can unfailing find anything I have lost.

First though, I have to buy a new one and either use it, or throw away the receipt.

Works like magic.

I've actually had the same alarm clock since 1987. Complete with ugly-ass faux wood-paneling.
