    I once interviewed with a large company that was stoked that I had used AS400 for three years in college. This was 2010.

    Oph it got worse.

    Cutting and crimping hundreds of feet of wire takes a toll on you.

    Have you thought about making a wire harness board? I once toured a plant that make harnesses for skid steers and that's what they use.
