[ale] I saw the magic smoke escape!

We have a saying, proved by time, in my family: it isn't a project until 
somebody bleeds. My wife, new at the time, expressed concern. "No 
bleeding," she said. After she saw the first BIG bleed, she understood, 
but was still not happy about, the need for a small symbolic cut. 
Especially around the chainsaw.

My server cases are well baptized. You'd think they *were* cursed. But, 
I've cut myself repairing laptops.
