ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! It can happen. Computer hardware doesn't fail
as often as it did in the old days when all the logic and memory
circuits were constructed with discrete components. I repaired
some crane controls back in the late 70's and each circuit card
was a separate op amp, comparator or logic circuit made up of
separate transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc. One card I saw
had MOV's that were the size of AA batteries. It was a lot of
fun sorting all that out.
