What amazed me about the article was he was making $125,000 a year fixing and reselling slide rules back in the early 2000’s. I saw a story about Google Adsense prior to 2010 and a retired guy was making more money retired from it then when he was working. His site was about electric motors.

I looked at his old website and right clicked and clicked on View source.

His site was created long ago. Homesite 2.5 was from 1997!
His site uses tables as the layout instead of divs and css etc. He did a good job as the site looks good in tablet and mobile devices.

His new site is up to date with divs and css etc.
