We probably attended some of the same shows.
Possibly, I'm sure my misspent youth didn't help, but my job and lots of loud droning fans isn't helping either.
Yeah, that too. I discovered decent noise cancelling headphones [and nice parkas] reasonably quickly after getting assigned to data center shift a few times. The warmest rack of servers to sit behind was also the loudest.
I've tended to sit around older things, PDP-11s, racks of equipment for specialty testing, weird shit. Same thing, so many fans...
