        Very true. Also, redundancy

        Why would I need an enterprise router if I can have a superfast, very extendable, very flexible and redundant router with two old desktop machines?

            that’s like stage 7-8, after an extremely high electric bill. Also about that time you consider moving to a colder climate so the electronics can just heat your house.

              I kinda love it in winter mornings when I’m a bit chilly and then I kick off a big compile or play something and there is this lovely warmth flowing from my main desktop and then I make a big cup of chai.
