The real charm is that you will know your machine inside and out, and
all it's little quirks and nuances, and there fore you will rarely be
"caught out" by some inconvenience that takes a lot of time and big
bucks to fix. You will ahve taken care of it before it happens.

I like knowing my machine thoroughly. No surprises on a back road by the
bayou in the middle of a rainy night.
