I can tell you one thing - ain't no one targeting that old thing with viruses or malware given it likely can't interface with any equipment made in the last three decades.

Ironic it's in a car mechanic shop given the old adage "If it ain't broke....." :D

I remember back in the early 80's at our local video rental shop, the owner using a C64 as a customer rental database by just using BASIC where the line number was the membership ID and a REM statement followed by what was rented; simples!
