Well, folks, here's an opportunity to let it be known that doing a
decent job doesn't always require the latest P-II! This fellow's looking
for quotes from folks who use 'legacy' equipment in production

Unfortunately, he's not interested in hardware hack type stories. I
kind of dislike his statement of 'if it takes a soldering iron, it's too
complex for this article,' but hey, who knows?
Enjoy. Attachment follows.
