Electronics...

What is it that seems to make electronics fail for no apparent reason and often in pairs or multiples. This weekend we wanted to watch a DVD only to find out that our DVD player had failed. Nothing we did made it work. Yesterday we went to use our Roku and found out that the remote had decided to no longer work. Luckily my wife found an extension on Google Chrome that allowed us to operate the Roku. In the meantime we have ordered a new remote and will buy a new DVD player at some point in the future.
