   Holy cow, that works?!   
      
   Tell me something - when you were sewing tiny stitches into a rubber belt   
   for an ancient tape drive, did you start to question your sanity? :)   
      
   I used to have a boss that had a passion for deer hunting. He told me he was   
   sitting immobile in his tree stand one cold winter's day, the temperature in   
   the teens. As he brushed the icicles away from his mustache, he started to   
   question his sanity. What kind of thing would motivate him to freeze his   
   mustache for his passion? I often think the same thing when I'm slaving over   
   20+ year old equipment that 99.9% of people would throw in the dumpster.
