It is pretty weird to have computer nerds talking
about tractors, like Eddie
Arnold on Green Acres I'd say. I believe that's the reason most of us can
keep the old computer iron going as we're not the underweight skinny dweebs
that know programming but when machine is older they throw it out. It takes
someone diverse in mechanics, electronics, shop trades, etc to kep this old
stuff going, just like you need to keep an old machine going (truck, car,
tractor, etc).
I grew up around Cat heavy equipment, 18-wheelers, dump trucks,
etc., so I know about that stuff (and can operate some of it,
too).
