If it worked from new then you got lucky. Spares are available.
If the manufacturer never got it to work properly (the common case) then
you are faced with an "upgrade".
But an "upgrade" that lacks backwards compatibility (also the common case)
is not an upgrade at all, it's a new system. And this lie conveniently
allows the industry avoid responsibility for its mistakes.
Perhaps the new bugs are better than old bugs? Perhaps we bought the old
system by mistake and so backwards compatibility isn't desirable?
Perhaps we should all just "upgrade"...
