That's cool. I envy your vast knowledge/experience base. (I only made

hermit by nature. I chose auto mechanic tech school over college, as
machines don't talk back.


Sure they do. You can even carry on conversations with some of them.
I told more than one piece of equipment that if it didn't behave I would
scrap it for parts.

What I meant was that they don't talk back...much.
