I don't know about that. It's a different crows than the one that hangs out
here, for the most part. But mechanical innovation is alive and well (consider
Boberg for example). And there's 3d printing. And there definitely are people
who can use machine tools to build amazing stuff. Give them a few pieces of
steel or brass and a bunch of time, and they'll hand you a fully finished model
airplane engine, for example.
I have not just old computers but an old lathe, too. Not that I'm much good
with it, but I know a few of the basics...
