At least they gave you the button.

I could relate the horror stories of devices like your player that can only be reset by a trip to the factory service center, but then I'd get in trouble for mentioning brand names...

There will be a day when such devices will be so robust that everyone will take such for granted.

Amd by that time, technology will birth something else brand new and the cycle will start all over again for whatever that will be.

By the time we got carburetors that actually worked rather well from idle through the full rpm range, nobody bought any because Electronic Fuel Injection flat blew that old technology right outta the water. Today we enjoy the full Stoichiometric from darn near zero rpm to redline, even on mom's little economy model.
