During my days at TPC, one of our Processor Techs (the folks who fixed our support computers), was at a Cadillac dealership because his wife wanted one.
The sales guy was trying to interest them in an Allanté, the first car Cadillac had with an all solid state dashboard. The Processor Tech told the salesman that he wouldn’t touch the car with a 10 foot pole because, based on his years of fixing computers:

2. You’re only gonna have one or two guys who know how it works.
3. They’re gonna be on vacation when I need you to fix it.
