E509 – Fixing Old Tech with Mac Nurse David



image by by Richard Pearson

Mac Nurse David is no stranger to bicycles or electronics repair.  He’s been on the show before to discuss our relationships technology and attempted to upgrade our studio computer in 2015, and this time around we chat about how far you’d go to make an old machine work and where he’s been riding lately.

Thanks to our nationally recognized “top beer bar in Oregon” beverage sponsor, The Beer Mongers, and, as always, thanks to our generous Patreon donors that keep us going!
