<p>I bought a tiny 12v Bosch driver when I fitted my kitchen 5 years ago, and I've used since for things like assembling flat pack furniture.<p>I've not charged it once since my kitchen project.<p>Obviously tightening knockdown fittings isn't very taxing work, but I'm still impressed every time I get it out.</p>

<p>> IBM has a very different model for supporting developers than Microsoft does with MSDN.<p>Interesting comparison, because when I was teaching myself to code in the early 00s, that's how I perceived Microsoft.<p>MSDN was a paid subscription, and the tools you needed to write MS software were also paid.<p>Hence me ending up forming a career on open source software, and a generation of programmers who still turn their nose up at Microsoft languages.</p>
