Holy smoke...

The smoke is a good indicator of trouble.
I've been troubleshooting cirquits with my nose more than once.
(sniff sniff) like a bloodhound over the cirquit board until I find which
part is smelling, or (YEOWWW!) touching the red hot (which isn't visible
'cause they're black!) capsule with my nose... Looks unbeleivably silly.
People who've entered the labs in the middle of the night when I use to get
"creative" has got themselves a few good laughs...

        Peace!
