A related point is that (for me anyeay) seeing
inside the machine is
intersting. Now everyone here knos not to stick their fingers inside a
powered-up computer unless they know exactly what they are doing. But the
public don't. What if Joe Bloggs sticks his finger on a live part?
This is what Perspex covers are for. Show off the innards, but keep the
