Not just science, factory equipment that needs ancient computers to function too. If you've ever wondered why some old PC parts are surprisingly expensive on eBay…

Out of curiosity, I ran through some sample quizzes of the A+ exam a while back. Managed to pass, but I had to dig out a lot of my old knowledge about IDE master/slave setups and COM port settings and the like. That may be partially due to A+ being a silly, meaningless cert, but it's pretty clear there is a need for that crap still.
