You know what is REALLY fucked-up?
Coming back home here (Cali), and finding that during the
move from one office building to another, people decided
to not move ALL your stuff.
Waaa!
They ("they" !) threw out my BA123 (incl. the boards, disks,
etc !), my 3100-M76 and a box of spares, just cos "dude, that
was, like, REALLY OLD crap! Didnt know you still needed it!"
*cries*
Sellam, be prepared to spend several hours comforting me :(

If I lived nearer to you, I'd lend you one of my LARTs. It's a 6kV 0.2A
transformer (!). You drop it on them, if that doesn't work, you connect
mains ot the primary winding!

Tesla Coil anyone?
