Most are still good today, while a few have been overtaken due to the hardware no longer being available.

I want to know how many martoonies it took to get that housewife happy about her new back door awning.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
