<grin> I've got a snowblower, but with my luck the PII
heatsink would get caught crosswise and break the shear
pin. Can't risk it this time of year! I was out in the
unheated garage running my Van Norman mill last night.
1800 lbs of cast iron cold soaked at 12-15 deg F for
a week is not fun to work with!

Actually, Jon mentioned a couple of BIOS things I want
to check before I declare that board scrap. At 300MHz,
it's actually the fastest PC I've got right now. Yeah,
I'm cheap.
