I have that problem, myself.....

This week I "wanted" to fix my Digital Mind Corp Xclef 500 120GB MP3
player. After 16 years, the lithium ion cell that runs it finally
croaked....(c;] She'll be back online by Wednesday. Tuesday, I'm buying
my 1973 Mercedes-Benz 220D sedan some "new brakes". The shiny wore off the
old brakes. It runs on a mixture of 1 part mineral spirits simply mixed
with 50 parts of filtered vegetable oil I get free from Chinese
restaurants.....all very high tech....
