Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been
accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and
its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal.
Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path
leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee

If its not broke <> it won't break

Or, in the words of the financial investment community:
"Past performance is no guarantee of future performance"

Its going to break. Relying on out of date and unsupported products is like
playing career bingo.
