When I moved into this house, twelve years ago, I bought some Kenmore appliances. I thought, even at that time, that I'd never have problems getting parts or repairs for Sears-brand stuff.
Today, looking for parts, I wound up at sears.com. The Windows firewall actually shut down my browser's connection to sears.com, because something shady was going on there, I guess. I'm not going to pretend to understand the details.
I haven't seen that firewall popup in years. What kind of primordial digital crimes must be present to trigger that old-school alarm?
It's like a signpost for the final corruption of the Sears name. Ayn Rand killed Sears, and the firewall popup is it's headstone.

And I can still get parts from Whirlpool. So I guess I was right, in the end, but for the wrong reasons.
