I just hit 65 the other day and recently built a new computer (went from a 3rd gen i7 to an 8th gen i7). Anyway, I'm not sure I'll build anymore computers going forward.
I had a heck of a time putting the new computer together. My eyes are at the point now where I need glasses and a flashlight to see into the computer case. My hands are shaky and that makes it very difficult to start those damn little screws. I couldn't even venture a guess as to how many times I dropped screws I was trying to start!
I used to enjoy putting them together but this time around it felt more like a chore than a hobby.
I think in the future, I will just select/buy the components I want but then get my son to do the actual assembly.
Anybody else (of us old guys) that feel the same?
