One big issue, is even if they have a "plan" it goes out the window if the show is too successful(or unsuccessful). A 5 season arc now needs to last 6 or 7..
I know Buffy for example had been planned for 8-9 seasons. And then producers were like nope the 7th is it. So they had to try and wrap everything up in one season.
We had both this one and the 2nd gen gray one! Plus the voice synthesizer addon. My dad would replace the touch pad inserts so we didn't have to buy new controllers.
That's exactly how it works, what are you talking about? There are government requirements to be met for a dog to be considered a "service dog". It's not some made up term and has nothing to do with poverty, disability or anything else...
Would you pay $1000 for one? Economy of scales matters...
Plus everyone who did look at them would say it is smaller it should cost less! Even though a smaller phone would be more technically challenging to build. Next you have compromises. No matter what you take out to make it work. People would bitch, I need that! I don't need this other thing! Next battery life, people complain about current battery life, you think they want less?
I could go on, but I can easily see why manufacturers don't want to deal...
shrug its 12? years old and I've never had a issue with it...
