This was my thought also.  I never imagined when I was younger that I'd 
have these systems that (back then) were large, expensive, accessed over 
56k lines, and most certainly not allowed to touch/access to the machine 
room.

To say nothing of if I didn't do "tech" for a living, how much my home 
network would cost in labor.  I'd never be able to afford the initial 
setup nor maintenance.
