You like it because it's running a basic CNC program on a Win 98
computer. :-)

People stopped writing W/98 viruses around the turn of the century so
they are pretty secure. Most script based attacks just pop an error
and abort.
BTW this Caliburger business is really responding to labor costs. They
already have that "order and pay" on your phone deal going.
I assume it is just a matter of time until these places have a "lights
out" kitchen where the raw ingredients go into one end and prepared
orders pop out the other. There may be a day very soon when you can
get your burger and fries out the window without ever seeing or
talking to a live person.

My lawyer/luthier friend has a small CNC setup that he uses to cut
inlays and rosettes for guitars. He's a Mac guy all the way but the CNC
he has runs on an old Windows laptop running Win 98. Never connects to
the Internet though.
