[sdiy] The things one sees..

Hmmm...worst things I've seen were both when I was engineering for Francis
Coppola the movie director.  During the mix of "Godfather Part III" we
opened up some Crown DC600's and they literally had bat shit in them.  
This was at his winery--he had a mixing stage above the place where they
made the wine--and a loft above that that the bats liked.  Before it
became the food and wine monstrosity it is today.  Hopefully the wine
fared better, bat turd wise, then the gear in the mix.

Another coppola story was that he asked me to fix his personal laptop
since it wouldn't power up.  I opened it and found thousands of tiny ants
in there; he had just come back from Belize and I assume this was some 
species that had no right being in California.  

There was also a lot of dandruff inside the PC--not sure who's, but I
figure it could be worth a lot of money on Ebay if I had bottled it up.
