Sorry Doc, it's a very fine line, but he only called my post derogatory
names, "lazy
and defeatist". Even so, I think He was a little out of line - there
are dangerous
voltages, and messing around inside there I could well render my Mac
non-operable.
All that aside, just because I frequent the group does not mean that I
am a whiz
with a soldering iron. Where I am living now I don't even have a
workbench.
