probably nobody will care, but I'm sad at the passing of my microwave. It was born in July of 1983, and died march 24th, 2026.

I'm looking for a new keypad but unsurprisingly the parts for this ancient thing are no longer in stock so I doubt I'll be able to resurrect it without some sort of miracle. I know it's just an appliance but it still makes me sad to see it go.
