Earwicker posted:that's exactly my point though. older computers - the average desktop pc in the 90's - were way more amenable to owner maintenance and repair than a current iphone or tablet. I dunno if I agree that they were more amenable to owner maintenance and repair. It could hit levels of complication you’d never see now. I think it’s that they were much needier. poo poo would break more or the weaker hardware meant you were dicking around with drivers/boot discs/under the hood settings more so you developed a familiarity with “if x then y” and seeing what inputs led to what outputs. You had less information delivered a lot of the time so repairs or tweaks were more experimental and the lack of internet tutorials also meant you had to learn a lot of the troubleshooting skills yourself. I haven’t really seen anything that wasn’t user repairable on current computers, just less poo poo that I had to repair.
