A really good example of a clear safe work area with non of that health and safety rubbish to fall over and get tangled up in.

When they ban plastic are we going to get back to good old manufacturing and assembly. Not that that applies here.
when you look at old PCs like IBM and ICL machines, built of metal and built to last, then the advent of the personal computer where we saw the first Apple, Commodore and Amstrad which were these space like futuristic plastic things. Its surprising how quick technology can change - in January we had Plastic shanked ear buds and by July the plastic had gone. Shame the shops didn't offer an alternative here in the UK with carrier bags, its plastic bag + a 5p tax or nothing. I miss old stuff, at least it was fixable.

I wonder how many motorway bridges will outlive Brunels bridges.
