Licensed and highly trained professionals have access to the proper
equipment. The rest of us have duct tape, electrical tape, coat hangers,
chewing gum, bailing wire, and (yes) a Dremel Tool.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to fix a ZIF socket that
I accidentally broke the lever on. Plastic. I should have known I'd
have trouble with a machine I picked up on the side of the road right
down from the Jack Daniels grocery store.
