Saw a tech at a local shop swap a whole power supply on a monitor. The 50 cent fuse on the daughter board was the real problem. It's like some places have a checklist but start at step five.

Sounds like we bought the same thermostat.

Remember when my buddy tried to fix his sink with a video? He got it done, but said it felt empty without his dad there to argue with about which wrench to use first. The right part got replaced, but the wrong memory got made.

Good point, but don't forget to check the door switch too.

That GeoCities Olympics site is a perfect example. The idea of paying by fax feels like ancient history now. It's kind of sad in a way, seeing how simple and hopeful that old web felt. Finding those old pages is like digital archaeology.
