I did this to another board, which I actually ran through the dishwasher. :biggrin:

Basically, this process can be very beneficial, if you know what your doing. For a computer of this age (1994), soaking it in isopropyl alcohol will remove electrolytic fluid from leaking capacitors, as well as cleaning dust that causes other problems. Distilled water is also good. I soaked it in the alcohol for 2 days, then I switched it today for distilled water, where it will sit for another 2 days. Then it will have to dry for at least 5 days.

I'm going to do this to all of my logic boards, hopefully.

Gil, I'm not even sure if you were here at the time. Justin and I started this forum at Proboards, with no site to accompany. We started it as an alternative to the crap at TWCMB. After awhile he disappeared and I decided to relaunch the site on my own. In fact, it was your bootleg copy of IPB that I initially used after leaving Proboards. It was then that I came to SMF on the advisement of Stephen.
That makes sense, I definitely wasn't there. I kinda remember seeing it a few years ago.

DAMN! I captured a Local where it was -16, but it was messed up (audio; turns out it's on all the channels), and when I went to rerecord it, it had jumped to -15. :cry3:

5-day weekend! :clap:

I must have misunderstood, I thought you meant *this* site (which I'm 99% positive he did on his own).

My first LF video in a LONG time... terrible video quality.

Wow those are some cold temps! Why is the quality blurred? Compression issues?

I recorded the video really small (160 by something). It's confusing.

Or you could just use the windchill calculator. :biggrin:

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/elp/wxcalc/windchill.shtml

Uhh.. I'll take that one! :D

"Currently in our area, -12 degrees, under fair skies..."

Wind chill right now is -31. No school.

Rap music casts a not-so-good stereotype on certain people.

Does anyone know what the formula is for calculating wind chill? :thinking:
