*Maybe* a high-temperature epoxy, but you'll probably have better luck just hoping they don't lift off. The quicker you can melt the solder and get the caps off, the less likely they are to pull away, so use a high-temp iron and work fast. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
