I am asking because I want to know if I am the last
person alive, who
 when something fails (anything), gets out the toolkit, 'scope,
 multimeter, etc and fixes it. No matter what the unit or fault actually
 is. I thought at least on this list people tended to fix things. 
For my part, I'm all thumbs with a soldering iron. I just program the things.
If my C128DCR crapped out on me and it wasn't a simple chip swap, I'd keep
this one for parts and get another. I'm not knowledgeable enough (or patient
enough ;-).
