It's only a curse if it's your only avocation causting you to put your effort here when there is little or nothing that needs attention. I use my system to relax and recover after hiking, climbing, and ultradistance running. I have to share time with my personal machine shop where I make a lot of cool sh*t. I could keep going. I never need to find something to enertain me by making upgrades that don't need to be made.
