I am, but I honestly think it was there when I rewrote the info doc, and
I shrugged and let it stand. It’s not the kind of wording I’d have used in
any case. I’d have said “outmoded” instead of “antiquated,” and would
have probably made a comment about crappy beer instead of cheap
computers, which (thanks to the surge of microbreweries) would be
rather dated nowadays.
