Do you throw away old tools? One of the machine tools I fix runs dos, ran part of it on the dos machine to test part of the hardware.
They are just tools. I still repair one piece of lab gear that is tube type equipment! The FAA won't let them upgrade it...so I have a tube tester too.
Fixing technology I was never taught about, makes me reach to be able to do the repairs. But I charge them out the ass, because no one else can do the job!
That is why it stays interesting...always have to learn new things.
One is down with windows viruses. It is here for me to fix for my Sister. I plan to install Ubuntu after I strip a few documents off the drive.
The rest. yes. They are a tool for me.
There are another 100 or so here, that could be built up if I need them.
:)>what the?? a hundred or so??
May be more, I don't inventory, they are tools for me.
How many sockets do you have? Screwdrivers? Hammers? Same difference for me, just tools of the trade.
I still have a laptop with the last good windows program on it, 3.11...and a DOS machine!
:)>Most people just throw away old machines, you sure you're not a hoarder?

Never boring!
