Many people change cameras and computers frequently but this is  
rarely because of reliability - though certainly some products are  
designed not to last long - it is because they want something new. My  
point is that saying mechanical items are more reliable than  
electronic is not supported by facts. Mechanical items may usually be  
easier for an artisan to repair but they are not inherently more  
reliable - quite the opposite.
