Thanks again Jim !

Hi Jim !

The caps that you recently helped me with were very easy to desolder. Matter
of fact, the solder melted almost the instant I hit it with a very low temp
soldering iron. ( I have a 1300+° tip temperature Ungar that I used to
build slot cars with. No, I didn't use that one. But I had it handy to show
that I meant business. :-)

Turns out I didn't even add any solder when I installed the new caps to the
pads. The whole job took less than 3 minutes for two caps.

A very public thank you Mr. Shorney for the help that you afforded me a
couple of weeks ago repairing yet another ( I'm up to 10 motherboards
"destroyed" during shipping recently ) motherboard that was shipped with
other motherboards for padding.

Grrrrrrrrr..........

Oh yeah, the motherboard works great.
