its called Tourette-syndrome i think. ask your doctor about it...they
cannot heal it by now, but they can make you feel better with some
daily medications i heard...

either that, or you should definitely stop to smoke crack...its not
good for you...

Okay, now you're being an idiot. Get your caps, don't kill yourself and
play Vectrex. Thats what all of us are doing here.

I think it's amazing that someone can ask a decent question about a
Vectrex repair, and end up being called an idiot for not using
capitalization. I know many Americans that don't use caps in IM
(chats) and on top of that have the worst spelling ever. While I might
say something to my typing-challenged friends 0.001% of the time, I
don't think I would insult a stranger and give him help at the same
time.

Maybe I'm poking my nose where it's not wanted, but people need to be
backed up every now and then. The world is too small to make enemies
over
capitalization.

Sincerely,
Brett Walach

I think there is now a new level of confusion. In last night's follow up
I wrote "fix your caps" meaning, fix your "electrolytic capacitors" and
"get back to playing Vectrex".

Or even over tantalums! I read the guy's follow up this morning and its
just amazing. He's really gone over board this time. From now on, I think
its wise, at least for me, to always spell out "capacitors". Imagine if this
was over the volume "potentiometer"?

Now back to Vectrex. Infact, I need to replace some _CAPACITORS_ in my Bandai
this weekend.

Actually you wrote "get your caps", which is even better. I thought
you actually said "fix your caps" and were refering to capitalization.
My appologies. I think it's all too easy for people to get upset when
it's hard to read emotion and intensions from some text. Thinking back
on past situations, the best advice is to take everyone's comments with
some tea, coffee, chocolate milk..

Good PC police always go over boards checking for bad temper tantalums.
You should fix your caps or somebody may set you up the bomb.

Take it from me; I *know*!
