Old manual vs new computer crane - picked the wrong one at first

Back in 2017 I had to choose between this old Link-Belt with all manual controls and a shiny new Liebherr with the computer setup. I went with the Liebherr because it seemed easier. Three days into a job in Pittsburgh I had to call the dealer twice because the load indicator kept glitching out. The old timers on site laughed at me pretty good. Has anyone else switched back to manual after trying the new tech?

Man every time we make things "easier" we just add more stuff that can break.

Don't you think modern computers save time overall, @the_gray?
