I had mentioned that I was the lucky recipient of two swats from the CRT circuit of a couple of Plusses I was fooling with recently. One got me thru the card on the rear of the CRT neck. The other bit me when I tried to turn over the Plus when live and touched the flyback. A jolt like grabbing the spark plug wire of a running lawnmower. When I presented this some time back, I was booed as a dangerous fellow. Go figure. Jeff G. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
