RE: 320s are ALIVE

1999-12-13 by Brousseau, Paul E (Paul)

When my kits arrive, I intend to have my girlfriend's snakes holding the PCB
midair while it's dangling from a light fixture.  The snakes are pretty
complacent and just tend to hang around, especially when near heat sources,
so I don't anticipate any problems.  Then I'll have both hands free for
soldering / threading / etc.  Hopefully, the iguana will keep an eye out for
randomly flying pieces.  

--PBr, anxiously waiting that first fix... er, kit.  :)
