- Now wait a minute. PCs do a lot of things, but falling over
- is not their specialty. Most PCs have substantial weights
- in them that are designed specifically to prevent them
- from tumbling. To prevent undue suspicion, most of these
- weights are cleverly disguised as powersupplies or hardcards.
-
- Anyway, if thePC goes a tumblin' every time you approach
- it, you either generate a very strong SOUTH magnetic field
- (all PCs, as required by FCC regulations are magnetically
- aligned NORTH), or you're a clumsy Hurcules (I don't mean
- the XT display card, it's time to call Arny here).
