I wont look at whites, because they have so many control knobs, they look old fashioned, and complicated. I know thats not giving them a fair shake though.
That's why so many people like them...because they have the knobs! In the US they have a cult like status because of that fact.
I would not buy Any machine without Knobs and switches, Any adjustment I just reach down and correct it, No messing with different soil Timings and other settings hidden in menus, It's just a matter of twist it and carry on, And that system works, When you consider how many people use them and once they have been out a few times with it they know what they are doing, Yet folks who use machines with menus have to put posts up to ask weather they have the right settings,
People seem to think that because that is all you have to do then the machine is inferior, Well just look at your Trucks, or the kitchen stove etc or anything you have to live with, just turn a Key or a knob and get on with the job, Then Take a look at computers with software brain fart, viruses, voltage/power spikes, and the time it takes them to shut down, Then you get free security software and the moment it gets to the end of the one month free trial date your computer slows down pages lock up, It takes forever to turn On and 15 minutes later It still has not turned off, The mouse Icon Freezes and won't let you do a bloody thing, and even if nothing is out of date to get bloody adverts for some thing that you have never clicked that just pop up at will,
Ever since we got cars/trucks with ECU's in the late 80s it now costs us $$$$ of bucks to get put right just because a 2 cent part got a piece of dust on it, None of that happened with the HJ,HX and HZ or WB Cars or the XB, XC, XD, and XE falcons, and unless we live in town there is bugger all chance of fixing it by the side of the road, and In the Australian Bush that can cost you your Life just because a 2 bob part shits it's self, That's what menu's and computers are good for,
Machines with knobs and switches allow you to tune the issue and not be limited by menu's.
