Need to stop, pushing your "personal" experiences....
Man, I am very very happy that you've had such good luck. Honestly, I am. I'm just pointing out that the handful you have experience with is dwarfed in comparison to the amount I have had problems with. DOA was the most common, but I also had others that had an abnormally short service life on the order of a few hours (the most irritating) to a few months.
