  Yep. My only excuse is that it was sorta dark in the garage, and I
couldn't see the deposits on the board till I got out the flashlight.
I'm going to give it a good cleaning (don't go near there!!) and an
OptiVisor inspection this weekend. It gets close enough to booting
correctly that I'm hopeful, if not at all confident.
