was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

RE: old tech!
My dad has lots of old stuff that pretty much resides in a corner of the living room, and it comprises of a few CD-ROM drives, some old SCSI drives that were apparently used as extra video memory, some blanks and lots and lots of ethernet cables. We also have three old PCs, two Dells and an IBM Personal Computer 330.

Nothing really useful. It's got a heap of mini DIN-style ports for ancient mac printers and modems [kind of like ps2], and it's got a db25 SCSI port. If it did have an rs-232 I wouldn't have any problems at all- it's not like null modems are expensive these days.

if it isn't ISA [but I imagine it would be], it could be PCI-X. High end computer companies usually only sell 64-bit PCI cards, which have an extra bit, kind of like AGP does, though they still fit in a PCI slot if you try. Some of them are really nice, too- I've seen several quad gigabit cards in an SGI unit a while back.
