Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] re: killing bacteria, Killing EPROM Bugs

Hi Hugh, List,

I bought a 12" or so lamp and fixture, delivered to the office about 20+
years ago when I started to work with EPROM's. Cost me $20 USD then. I
still use it, my son borrowed it for the 16C73's, until he found out
that the 16F877's could be ELECTRICALLY ERASED. So dad's got it back.

P.S. That must be how it works in EPROM's, it KILLS the Program bugs!
