I know you
were talking to Tony, but I must interject. Solving
problems, and making the machine work, also counts as
accomplishing something. For me, and I suspect Tony as well,
that's *more* of an accomplishment than, say, firing up WordStar
or EDT.
Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to explain a point.
And, honestly, I understand. I will fix hardware for the fun of it
myself. But, I'm not so happy if I want to program some 8080
assembly language on, say, my Kaypro, and I can't because the drive
has gone down. Then, the problem is a roadblock, not a puzzle.
Well yes...if it gets in the way of what you want to do at a
particular time, absolutely.
