So I am noticing that your refusing to use modern tools just
because they are modern has rendered you unable to do your tasks
yourself.

That's fine, of course, because that other person who's not
neo-amish (your words, not mine) gets your money. Of course I
wonder if that person would be able to make your PCB layout with
an ASCII terminal... these things used to be done with ink on
paper, but that might cost you a bit more.
