Or, those people use their brains, do some research, and find that the
newer 702s (MK) don't seem to have the same problems as the older ones.
They then realize that for $130 they're getting a pretty good deal.
And if you want to get into probabilities and expected values, assuming
an average repair cost of $100, a machine for $130 that has a 20% chance
of breaking down over the next year is still a better deal than a machine
for $300 that has a 2% or 3% chance (and there is little evidence that
the 702MK has anywhere _near_ a 20% failure rate, or that other brands
are as low as 3%).

You personally having trouble isn't the same thing as a brand being
"known to be nothing but trouble." Sony's tend to be one of the more
reliable MD portables.
Sorry, but if we're supposed to be here to help each other out, let's be
objective about it.
