Ouch!       No, these are HC49U cans, and I'm soldering them without hot air.
That's one small point of sanity though. WHEN THE PROGRAMMERS DECIDE TO 
WORK, I can change the fuse bits, and I see the oscillator turn on and off 
accordingly.  So, at least something's working.

Even if I was, I would have hand-soldered it. :)  I don't have hot air here.
