I accidently the LC III with the Tantalum/Ceramics on it yesterday. I turned it on to check out a few floppies that morning before getting a crying phone call from my ex about not having food in the house (she is loaded with issues, which is why she is an ex and not a current significant other). So after the sob story, I went out to see her. If you know NYC and its 5 boroughs that make it up, I live in North East Manhattan, she currently lives out in the outskirts of Queens near an LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) train station - it takes a train and a bus to get to her new place. I went to go see what is going on and get her some food, forgetting that the LC III was still on.
8 Hours later I return home and took a nap on the living room couch, it lasted another 2 hours. Woke up, took care of personal business in the boys room and went into my room. I found the LC was still on (No Screen Saver - Oh Well!). The PSU was quite warm but not hot to the touch and the board was cool and still operational! It passed a "Burn-In" test! LOL!
Now that is quality I could trust. If I would have returned with the house on fire, I'm sure the NYFD would told me the source of the flames was LC III that was on all that time. Talk about Paranoid thinking.
