I feel the same way. We’re a diminishing group...as my kids keep reminding me, I’m OLD (to them, not to me). But the eaters of Tide Pods and inhalers of condoms have no knowledge of this.

I remember it too. I will never buy Toshiba.

Let's not forget the role the Norwegian company Kongsberg played in the incident. They're not as high profile as Toshiba, but were no less culpable. What is also galling about it was that neither company suffered any serious long-term consequences.
