Gee Paul
I didn't realize a question (what this started out as) and a statement of
fact (from my vantage point) could be misconstrued as misinforming.
Maybe we need to take a couple steps back, throw some water on our faces and
calm down a bit.
I'm sorry, I also didn't realize I was in agony when I was rebuilding the
PRAM battery.
I was just happy it only cost me $3.00 and a half hour of fun, instead
of a nervous drive 15 miles one way through traffic, and a $30.00 bill to
boot. Call me crazy. Call me easy to please.
One thing I do know for sure from working as a service tech in several
different industries throughout my life. Things are not always as printed in
the service manual!
And now all, It's time to change the subject!
Respectfully
Dean
