This was my thought also. I never imagined when I was younger that I'd
have these systems that (back then) were large, expensive, accessed over
56k lines, and most certainly not allowed to touch/access to the machine
room.
To say nothing of if I didn't do "tech" for a living, how much my home
network would cost in labor. I'd never be able to afford the initial
setup nor maintenance.
