Same thing they asked me when I went to work for IBM in 1966. All the whiz kids
were trained on computers, but they hired about ten new guys to fix the card
machines that provided all the input in those days. Those things had really
exotic components like geneva drives and such. I was hired because I was
building my own racing cars (MGs and Minis) and finishing races.
