I finally saw a fire alarm panel from 1988 still working in a church basement.

I was helping a friend check the wiring in a small church in Akron, and the old panel had a simple metal box with just a few basic lights. It made me think about how much we add to new systems that might not really be needed. Do you guys ever see old gear that makes you question all the new features we install?

Got me feeling like my phone's too smart for me sometimes. That old panel probably just had an on switch and a light that said "fire".

I mean, it's just a fire alarm, not a spaceship control panel.
