An anecdote... My father did the same thing in a mid 80s scenario in the UK. He took me to work. At the time, he was importing containers full of stuff from Taiwan for the the new PC clone market i.e. building PCs, assembling them and reselling them. I spent an entire day slicing my hands open on cheap PC cases, box cutters, cardboard boxes and standing on dropped PC case screws and installing MS DOS. To the child poster, as HN has stopped me replying, yes literally slicing my hands up - they were cheap pressed metal back then and had edges like razor blades. This is why I did electrical engineering and now software :) (incidentally his volume was 4x Michael Dell's back then but due to sod-all business sense, he screwed the company up)
