The cheap cabinet part was obvious... what wasn't/isn't obvious, is the title of the thread. How does a very cheap cabinet relate to "Golden years"? :? :roll:

[flash=][/flash]The phrase “eschew obfuscation” is an ironic expression that writers and grammar geeks use to explain the need for clear writing. The inverse would be espouse elucidation.

I'm no writer and certainly not a grammar geek, but occasionally the opportunity to use a not oft used phrase to good advantage comes up. This was one of those opportunities. :ugeek: :lol:

The problem with the term "Golden years", is that it is too vague and could be used to describe the age of a number of collectors, as well as machines or just some fantasy timeframe which supposedly refers to some period at or near retirement, when things are finally great or golden. As far as the latter, it is absolutely untrue, in the same way that the "Good Ole' Days" somehow describes a time in the past when things were "good"...
