::I used to reset my development C-64 with a paperclip that I bent into a
::hair-pin shape with a .3" or .4" spacing to fit the proper pins on the
::expansion connector. I even melted a drinking straw and wrapped it around
::the top of the loop for a "handle". It was my programmer's reset for
::years.

I've seen people burn out 64's that way too :-P
