- This is silly. Hopefully this is a joke, but something tells me it isn't...
-
- Under no circumstances should a power supply ever be placed in water and
- operated! This is very dangerous, and you are risking serious injury, fire,
- and/or major damage to your computer.
-
- If your power supply is hot, it should be serviced by a qualified technician
- or replaced. A replacement power supply is not expensive.

- I've heard some incredible stories before, but this one almost beats my
- all-time favorite from a PET user who said he had located the resistor
- which made the screen 40 characters wide, but did not know whether to
- double the value or halve it to get an 80 column display.
