It is pretty weird to have computer nerds talking

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).
HEY! I am one of those underweight skinny dweeb programmers! Of course I
have some 'classic computer sensibilities' (or to the rest of the world,
'problems' or 'insanity' :)
