Pre-cisely!

I wasn't aware this thing was 10 years old. If you paid $2000 for the
thing in 2006, you've been renting a perfectly behaving machine for
$33/month. You got your money's worth. Time for a newer model.

This is *especially* true because it's intermittent. When I find an
intermittent part in any of my boxes, with magic marker I right away
write on it BAD, INTERMITTENT. Then I immediately walk it out to our
outside garbage can. This makes sure this part never accidentally ends
up in another one of my boxes. Intermittents are way too time consuming
to take chances with.
