Hasn't every IMSAI owner experienced 120VAC when they touched the traces
running to the front panel power switch[*] and got a nasty jolt? :-). I've
done it many times, and I'm sure I'll do it again!

[*] Yes, I know it's not necessarily a power switch, but it is on all
    of mine (never had write-protectable RAM).
