regarding the OP user name, perhaps he would be more welcome if he used his first name followed by surname initial. It certainly looked like a John Deere hater user name but no worries, perception is real, he is getting what he paid for.

Little background on the "black gator" comment -
These are the tire "skins" from semi truck retreads that come apart - usually while going down the road.
One, they usually come to final rest on the edge of the road (after being hit by several trailers and cars...), and look like gators sunning in the Florida sun.
But also....
As they come off the truck at speed, they tend to slide and jump on the pavement in a way not unlike a gator running. Hense the name!
I only know this cuz I used to live in Florida, and have seen both instances above, and the running gator as well!

Putting smoke back into a computer is a very delicate process involving the following steps ...
You must have a mini valve stem (found locally at the mini store) A mini can of smoke (do not use liquid smoke)
With a mini cordless drill (set on hammer drill) go to the lower right left corner on top of the bottom on the front back side of the oustide of the external inner most outer portion of the unit ... drill anywhere and grease up the mini stem and insert (mini hammer may be needed) While installing the smoke use a gas mask as to avoid inhaling any excess smoke. Be prepared the unit can only handle a little bit ... some units have been known to ... sorry gotta go.

speaking of computer smoke.
a budd of mine though his house was on fire.
he came home from work, walked into hs living room and it was fileld with a choking smoke.. not thick.. but choke you/cn't breather.
he rushed out of the house with phone.. called the fire co.. they got there in 5 minutes... wnet in suited up.. looked all around.. attic.. etc.. opened his doros and windows.
their sniffer machine did detect the smoke.. but they could not locate a source. after an hour they went home.
he worried about it all night.. got up int he middle of the night thinking another fire may start since he could not find the issue.. called another buddy who is a night owl.. they went all over that room pulling light switches and receps.. then finally got to his desktop computer.. the inside of the box and power supply and all the card were charred.. fire was contained within the unit.. but it was the source!!
fire was so hot that it turned the phenolic perf board to ash, and all the caps popped
talk about letting the smoke out.

Sounds like the spoiled little kid - How come no one will play with me? If no one answered then you got the reply you deserved.

9 days after joining was his last activity 3 months ago, and total of 7 posts, some of which were to explain his user name, which probably should have been his first post, and one was to whine which never should have been posted.
Gosh, I miss him.
