[even i get tired of eating all this crap ...]

I have a Luxman digital tuner with button selection for my frequently
used stations.  Natuaraly, the station frequencies are stored in
battery-backed rom.  My second battery has now gone west.  Now that
in itself is not too much of a problem.  After all, I have had the
unit for 7 years now.  BUT, to replace the battery, you practically
have to send the whole unit back to Luxman - it is soldered into the
bottom of two boards and is completely unreachable except by taking
the entire unit apart, board by board (they are stacked on top of each
other).  GREAT design - just imagine if your camera were done by the
same designers!

Obviously electronics are always better than mechanical solutions.
