I find it hard to believe that somebody would piss on an Amiga. "So if you've got an Amiga which doesn't work, then you've been pissing on it tooo much!"
But seriously, all old computers (uh, except maybe the Spectrum) were built with much higher quality than computers today. Computers these days are not built to last and are expected to be replaced in a year or two. Maybe they design them to fail so people will buy again (lessons from the auto industry). Obviously profit margins also have something to do with it. Old keyboards were solid and cost about $200 - new ones are flimsy cheapo-plastic and cost less than $40.
