    The best part was the color coding. You’d crawl back there and hook it up and your grandparents would look at you like you were a wizard

      They were faking it. When I was 12, I was pretty smart with tech, but I was not allowed to touch my grandpa’s projector. (It’s because if you didn’t turn it off properly, the bulb would burn out).

      He also did some work with ibm back in the 80s, and he didn’t really like kids, so that might have something to do with it.
