Indeed, i'd like to pick the Baron's brain, as well as Daz's and i'm
sure there are a few more here who are in the trade, if in lurking.
None the less, what we do is nothing more than a job. The fact that i
can do it with relative ease after 25 years of active work is not
surprising. If i could replace a brain and make it go at 18,000
ticks(+- 5), now that would be surprising, especially to the owner who
at that rate would not catch on for weeks anyway..probably still busy
trying to process how to operate a door knob. :)

The guy who can put an ohmmeter across various pins on a circuit board
with 150 compononents and points to the one that needs to be replaced
is damn impressive to me. He won't think much of it though.
