Used to be REAL common with socketed DIP RAM and DIP socketed
processors. Remember when virtual;ly every chip on a motherboard was
plugged into a socket????

My experience is over half the time when someone calls me to look at
equipment that is malfunctioning, it starts to work as soon as I get
within about 50 yards.


Oooooh!! You have the Healing Aura!!!!

Don't forget the majik words "Now, what seems to be the problem
with this?"
Fixes things up, right quick.

former VW mechanic.

Oh, you're the guy who actually worked on 'em? I'm the guy who would
always say, with a smile "Oh, a VW? The crusher is over there."

I LOVE beetles! Well..except for the Super Beetle.

I ran the alarm department of a security firm that used bugs for oil
field patrols. Ran the **** out of them and hard too. Course we did
soup em up a bit and I wound up doing much of the mechanic work.

They had to change over to pickup trucks when decent bugs got hard to
find.

Some day Ill build up another one. Biggest problem with em was..no air
conditioning. Which sucks here in the desert.

Most fun vehicle EVER!
