Years ago I went to a local hardware - appliance parts place. Computers were just taking over and everyone now knows computers are only as good as the programming and the database that gets loaded. I walked in with the control timer for my old dishwasher. The young computer guy typed and typed and was finding nothing. The old grey walked by and saw my part on the counters and said, wow, an old Wj-59B or or whatever that part number was. He said I have not sold one of those in years. He then reached into a bin right by the front counter and blew a half inch of dust off of the part I needed. The young guy looked puzzled and said but nothing like that is in here, pointing at the computer.

That part still had a mail in warranty card in it.
