I've always understood that to mean 'Electronics _as related to old 
computers_' In other words, asking how SMPSUs work is OK (particularly if 
you're repairing a PERQ 1 that's just gone bang), asking how to fix AA5s 
is not.

Otherwise, since 'moving heavy equipment' often involves motor vehicles, 
then discussions of how to fix your car would be on-topic, etc...
