Yes yes, I understand the implications. The "mud" is only on the solder
side of the motherboard, and it's only a very fine patina, that was left
behind when the water receeded. If it was on the component side, I would
have run the board thru the dishwasher. Yep, that's right, the
dishwasher, which we had to do with the other half dozen boxes we fished
out of the Raritan River. Though we did have to remove some of the
Dallas Semi chips, since they aren't hermetacly (sp) sealed.
We salvaged seven boxes all together, and they are all functional, after
replacing the hard drives and monitors.

Fine buisness, like I said, I'm not complaining, it's my roomate, who
still likes his windoze boxes.
