Old platemaking machine has an early pentium box on XP SP2, and monitor died. Ultra widescreen and stretched 1024x768 with pixels like fettucine.
Yet it keeps working.
Despite every IT dork coming in going "Oh this needs SP3" and fucking the entire device.
*I pull out cloned drive and sigh again*
IT people should not be allowed to touch production machines.
Controller PC + custom cards + $250,000 device are ONE UNIT.
Controller PCs are NOT FUNGIBLE.
