AAAARRRRGH! #28 stranded ribbon-cable wire -> protoboard? Hah!

I think he thought it was one of his farts. I'll bet the fucker
stinks pretty bad too. People move away from him at the bar.

Well, if you're inferring, from implication, that I'm "a superior lifeform",
I guess I can't be held responsible for implying something that might or
might not have misled you. ;-P

Thanks!

Hey! While you have that proto board disassembled, run the plastic
through a dishwasher...

That's OK - I've divined that it's just condensed cigarette smoke, which
is really quite harmless to electronics - in fact, it leaves a sort of
film that helps protect the contacts from corrosion, but wipes clean
effortlessly when a lead is inserted.

And anyway, I said "IF"! I have no intention of disassembling my Proto-
Board! ;-) ;-)

Cheers!
Rich

I'd have to disagree about the smoke residue, it collects dirt and makes
ribbon
cables brittle as if prematurely aged. It gums the fans too.

I do agree that proto board disassembly is a BITCH due to the many rails. I
would not be inclined to do so again but 20 years ago, my lab partner
spilled
his coke into the board and flushing it with DI water wasn't enough.

You could be a bit more lost, but not today.

That is bullshit. Just ask any old TV technician.

We now know why you are so brain addled, however. Nicotine
constricted the blood vessels.

Utter fucking bullshit.

Not likely to be an easy task anyway. Then, we would have to
consider your aptitude for the task as well.

Well, I guess that's the wages for my sins. ;-P

OK, now that I think back, I have seen those little contact rail thingies -
it was another protoboard - not the one in these pix, but a "naked" one -
i.e., not mounted on a steel plate. The back was a sticker, like a mailing
label, but glossy, and printed as if by photolith, and it peeled off
surprisingly easily. The "back" or "bottom" or whatever you call that part
of the contact rail thingies was - were just right there. I wouldn't be
surprised if there's nothing but a sticky label between the ones on mine
now and that steel plate. Anyway, once I'd peeled the label off, the
little bus thingies just lifted right out.

I stuck it back together, and put it back into service, and it served
me well, until that time I had to abandon everything, but that's a
different story. )-;

But, all seriousness aside, .

Thanks!
Rich

Yep, that's how they are built...except that the rails in mine didn't fall
out,
I had to pry them up. Also, it was 29 years ago...gad, the crap that stays
in my memory.

No. When those come along, it will be a lot more painful.

Myself, John, and I am sure a number of others will simply ignore
your retarded ass, so that you can jack-off with more than your mouth from
now on, idiot.

Is this particular post an example of how effectively you "ignore [my]
retarded ass"?

Are you this good at other stuff that you do? Do you do any other stuff? ;-)

Thanks,
Rich

 

[Richard the Dreaded Libertarian]

You really are lost. Go back and read your own CRAP, dipshit.

Try it when you aren't three sheets to the wind.

No, I said, "Show me". That means, _you_ show _me_, which you'd have known
if you had been conscious in 4th grade English.

You blow a lot of smoke, Roy, but you have nothing to back any of it up
with but bluster.

Thanks,
Rich

I've found that there is not much content in general, but it's kind of
fun to trollbait him while I'm otherwise bored.

Just to keep it in perspective, not quite as much fun as surfing
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* and masturbating. =:-O

For a new definition of TMI, let's give Richard a big hand (pun not
intended... oh well actually it was.
