Obhack: I haven't done much lately, but I guess I can relate my experiences last week installing a _very_ nice scanner at the NC Japan Center here. Unfortunately, when I showed up to install the scanner, I find out that I also must install the SCSI controller and drivers, and me without my screwdriver. So, I went with the old standby of a knife borrowed from the JC kitchen. Alas, it's always easier to get the screws OFF than to put them back. Plus, I had to borrow one of the screws from the case to hold the card in place. Having no screwdriver turns a five-minute job into an hour-and-a-half job. I guess I don't mind that much, because the real hack is that I get paid by the hour! ;-) Mike -- Michael J.
