Sorry Doc, it's a very fine line, but he only called my post derogatory

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.

Doc, this is a serious question: how come you always interpret what I

point out in the message above where I am calling Ron "derogatory

Looks to me like Ron's in the same shape. The SE *works*, as-is.
If
he wants to leave it in a working state till he can learn more about
it,
who are you to call him derogatory names? On Aug 20, 2004, at 9:55 AM, Vintage Computer

What kind of crack is that Sellam.
It's a pretty defeastist and lazy message for this group. I'm just
not
accustomed to people being too lazy to find the right tool, too
scared to
open up a case, and too insecure to attempt any sort of inspection
of a
computer.
