Had to choose between a new diagnostic computer or a full set of old school manuals
The shop was making enough to upgrade, so I picked the manuals because I still trust my own eyes and hands more than a screen. It cost about $1,200 for the full set, but now I can fix a 1990s dryer without needing a software update. Do you think I'm just being stubborn, or is there still a real place for paper schematics?

Remember when a power surge fried our shop's main computer mid-repair?

Mid-repair" is the worst part of that story. That's like the universe picking the worst possible time to mess with you. Total nightmare scenario right there.

And the computer just goes dark right as you're lining up the final screw. All your notes are on there, the repair guide is pulled up, and you're left holding a half-taken-apart device with no clue what to do next. It's like the tech itself decided to have one last laugh at your expense. You just sit there staring at a black screen, wondering if you somehow offended the machine gods.
