Cy,
that is the great thing about this list, there are people on here who can
commiserate with me. People who have made the same mistakes. Helps me to
feel a bit less stupid at times. I am all up for going and crying in a
beer or two with you.
Take it easy.

The truth is the computer could take a hit from a static charge when

up for a few minutes and then give the starter a try. once its going
