peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1lasts your lifetime Explanation: I have seen as a description of units that last a lifetime, with no need for servicing or maintenance or repairs: lifetime car-batteries. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-23 17:57:35 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I hope you believe me when I say that the \'your\' is purely a typo :-) These batteries last for X years without maintenance, but not necessarily for the user\'s lifetime (though some British makes do promise to give you a new battery if the original product fails at ANY time during the first owner\'s life, as a marketing gimmick!). |
