I'm guessing most of it would be curtailed if he could install the current stable release of what has proven to be the most stable OS available and upgrade to a realtime kernel that controlled all his machine tools just like it used to be able to do before all the "improvements" got rolled into it. Be kind. It ain't so much fun getting old, and the unfun is multiplied by being a caregiver for a spouse with dementia or strains simply to breathe even using an oxygen bottle or generator while limping along on a bunch of chemicals and replacement body parts to keep the old kicker kicking. Given his spouse's condition, this might be one of few opportunities he gets to communicate with people of intelligence. I'm sure he, like many in his age group, needs mental exercise as available here as much as he and others like him need physical exercise they don't get because of the existence of electronic video displays and all that appears on them for whatever reason. If you get old, and wise at the same time, you eventually figure out it's usually best to not fix what ain't broke, and highly annoying to have to fix what broke due to unavoidable purported software improvements that only got tested on hardware that's barely had the smell of new burned away. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
