Hmm... me, too; but I doubt you were talking about me here. I have a Gorf
machine I built up out of boards found at a local scrapper (when I was in
high school) and parts from two cabinets (proper glass, proper paint job,
marquee, etc). _And_, just the other night, I fired up my solder pot to
extract some parts from dead x86 motherboards.
