I repaired a machine at a metal company today. Old 286. Ran some expensive milling machine.

Power supply pooped the bed. Thank god I had an old AT power supply laying around. You can’t just run to Best Buy and buy one any more.

Not sure what they are going to do if the HDD ever goes out. I did ask and they said they had all the floppies used to load the machine burned to CD’s and made several copies in case they ever need um. The HDD in it was 20 meg and of course, the size of a brick.

And this company can't afford to buy a used PC for about $200?
Heck, I can go to Tiger Direct and find half a dozen laptops under $200.
