I have a nice collection, but the best is a scar that runs the length of 
my pinky finger, put there by the metal rf fins on a sparc 5 lid.


If you do not get cut when assembling a new 'puter then it is destined
to have problems. Every machine I have put together seems to follow
this. If I give it blood it is very stable and trustworthy, If there
is no blood letting involved it always seems to be a pain.
