Ha! I always hated that story. So, hey, I'm all for it.
But yes, it's a dangerous tool, I agree. I was as careful as possible not to change the actual story line. And I'm still not sure I should have done it, but I think removing references that were long/out of date improved the story. And in ten years will the equipment be out of date again? (I actually tried to be very careful to avoid this.) But theoretically, what then? Do I have to go in every ten years and instead of analyzers and servers and racks use some other term in order to make sure the thieves are stealing valuable enough equipment?
I think this is a learning experience for me. Or maybe just an experiment. I don't know.
