   My last Amiga was a 4000 - but, dumb-ass me hot swapped a printer and    
   blew the wave-soldered/surface mounted CIA chips. And then it was good   
   for use as a door-stop. The old 'Miggus had socket mounted CIAs - and   
   yes, I changed more than one of them.  Bv)>

   They were both finance guys, not confuser folks. There was an inquiry   
   into Medhi Ali short-selling his own company on the stock exchanges.   
   He and Gould made money off Commode Door on the way up - and even more   
   on the way down.
