Indeed. I replaced my c. 1980 Hayes Smartmodem 300 dial-up modem for a newer ZTE ZXDSL 831II ADSL2+ modem. And it definitely is better; much better!

I will be honest. If I had to choose between aluminum for $10,000, and vinyl for $7,000, I'd choose the vinyl.

| LED Lights look "cold" I have to say that practically speaking LEDs Christmas lights are good for many reasons...BUT, I AGREE that the light they produce is harsh,
artificial looking and most importantly COLD looking.
Humans senses ARE analog, so it figures that non digital light sources will look better to many of us.
I have YET to see a consumer quality "warm white" LED lamp that doesn't give off that icy blue color at least to some degree. I detest that color! |

Re: "Beautiful aluminum siding".
Snigger. That would be "sheets of metal pretending, poorly, to be wood". An architectural monstrosity. Vile in its conception. Offensive in its appearnance. Utterly tasteless.
Mind you, vinyl siding has exactly the same set of qualities.
You want something that looks like clapboards? Clapboards do a pretty good job of looking like clapboards. You want to use some other material? Then make it look like itself, not an imitiation of something else. |

"Beautiful" aluminium siding? People are NOT replacing aluminium siding that is in good condition with vinyl.
GOOD Vinyl siding looks great.
Vinyl siding isn't "new" either, it was around ... wait for it .. In the eighties.
What do you have on your house? |

As for Christmas lights, I have a plastic palm tree with led lights in my living room. What the hell? :me shrugs:  |

This is what we had when I was a kid.  |
