 I usually read my copy of the ClassicCmp Digest between midnight and 1
o'clock
(when I receive it). And if I wasn't so busy copying this out of the
manual, I
might have read what I was writing. :)

 Thats just where they broke! I used one of my wife's sewing needles to
pry them out
of the sockets. And it's most likely they broke when I removed the chips
from the
sockets, but I'm not sure about that.

 Four of the 5 broken chips are TI 8T26s and the fifth is a TI 74123.
