- I'll let you know what happens after my A4000 blows up from
- having a backwards fan. I stuck in my A2286 bridgeboard, and
- another hard drive, and my internal modem myself. So far all
- is working perfectly but when the computer over heats and dies
- it will probably be myfault because a dealer didn't install
- the stuff.
