This thread reminds me of the story about the newspaper reporter interviewing the old locomotive mechanic during the time the railroads were switching over from steam locomotives to diesel-electrics.

The reporter said, "Isn't it so much nicer to work on the modern diesel-electric locomotives than the dirty old steam engines?"

The old mechanic thought a second and said, "Well, with a steam engine it takes about 2 minutes to find the problem, and then it takes 8 hours to fix it. On these new diesel-electrics it takes 8 hours to find the problem, and 2 minutes to fix it. Either way you're working all damned day on the thing, so I don't see much difference."
