The electronics and computer stuff was my weak points. Mostly because 98% of the equipment I had exposure to was more vintage stuff. Then when they started getting a few Cats with computers upper management felt for the longest time having one laptop with Cat ET on it to be shared between several locations up to a two hour drive or more round trip was a good plan.I have found that old people who kept up with the times and learned how to work on current stuff with computers and laptops are by far the very best because they understand mechanical, electrical, and electronic in the whole package.
The trouble is there are only about 3 of them in existence. Maybe more, probably most of them post on here.
After a couple years I did end up having one for my own use 75% of the time. Last I heard a couple years back the guy who got stuck with my job had been trying for over a year to get them to renew the ET subscription after it ran out! This is not a small mom and pop's operation but one of the top three aggregate companies in the world!
