You too?
The thing I noticed was the smell of phenolic PC boards, especially if
it wasn't absolutely fresh.
And I thought it was me. Honest, if I were to set a cup of that stuff
on my workbench and turn away momentarily, you'd have me nervously
scurrying around looking for the piece of equipment that was
self-destructing.
Some odors you never forget, like burning selenium rectifier. Like
rotten eggs, but with a metallic-garlic overtone.
