Well.

It turns out that I had a PM indicating I was in error. We don't do that here! So instead of coming forthright about it, I'm going to try to backpedal and uhmm-ahhh through the whole process with a grim pursed lips look as if I was a politician.

Even better is when I pull the corporate silence/deny/silently fix it/dodge the issue/make you sign NDAs/do just like what Apple and many other corporations do and say nothing and deny everything. ("There's a problem with our iBook GPUs on the logic boards!" Our statement: [insert raw silence, until the class-action lawsuit] "My iPhone 4 got really hot and caught fire!" Our response:[insert silence] "What is the clock rate and the RAM of the iPod touch 4th gen?" Our response: [insert silence]) While you are mulling that over, here is my Public Relations Officer:

There. Now the reality is that somehow the .cwk version is not found, and I did not check the prints for the C8 to C10 section before I published it (I just copied the stuff from the 1st revision). Checked both of my backup volumes. Not there. The iBook that it was made on has been thoroughly wiped. I'm pretty sure I made a backup of it, I don't know where it is. I know what it is called, it is called "untitled 11b.cwk".

This means I must re-create the thing all over again, well, at least most of it. At least there is no fancy dithering or anti-aliasing that I have to deal with when I use the lasso tool to fish out the good stuff. In the meantime the image has been pulled from the server so that it gives PB some time to delete it from their servers while I re-upload it in the same name (otherwise it won't replace it).

Technically, my DMM gets continuity between C10+ and Pin 5 of J12 (is actually supposed to be Pin 14) but that's not factually correct, because that's basically saying it runs ground-capacitor-ground.
