There's also a pawnshop in Orem, next to the old Golds Gym on about 1600S. Not the big new shiny one, but a little tucked away in the corner on the opposite side of state from the big one.
Anyways, the owner is one of the most skilled solder monkey's I've ever known. He's fixed things that "professional electronics shops" said were not worth fixing, on well more than one occasion. Wish I could remember the guys name, or at least the name of the pawn shop. On 3/22/07, Nicholas Leippe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If it is doable, they are qualified. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
