I will keep this brief so as not to upset the topic of this thread. Thank you for your concern. Some of you have sent me a PM, which I sincerely appreciate. Thankfully, we are located 8-hours by car from the quake epicenter and as such we sustained no damage from the quake, although we did feel it very noticeable for more than two full minutes. The concern at this point, as I am sure you know, is radiation. Winds are strong here in Japan. Given sufficient leakage from the plant it is possible that some parts of Japan could experience Black Rain, not too unlike what occurred after WWII. Your prayers and support for Japan is needed and appreciated.

But getting back on-topic, I'd just like everyone to know that I've swapped out the caps on more than just my SE/30. I've swapped out the caps on my IIgs keyboard (attached to my SE/30), which got it working well again. I've also swapped out the fluid-filled caps on my 512k logic board too. After all these years, it's illogical and silly NOT to replace them as they can be the root cause of more trouble than you think.

Best wishes.
