It does. You also have to get good at researching stuff. And digging online. I have today's project right next to me. It's a Lenovo 3000 J115 that I think has bad graphics in it. I need to find drivers that work.
It does require quite a bit of patience. That and a few smacks. I have one computer that has to be smacked most of the time because the CD drive won't open if I don't.
Computers, drones, cameras (making videos and whatnot), and chickens.
Another one is collecting old computers that are unwanted. I love stuff like that.
