I'm NOT mad at Fastback.  I was just curious as to whether or not this
error message was reliable or not.  If it was specific to Fastback + then
I'd sooner give up the software than start trying to vaccum-solder my
chip out of place (or spend $50+CDN on one of their fixes).  Is there
anybody out there who's actually used their 'fix'.  What kind of adverse
effects can I expect (I know, they say none, but hey, they make the thing)?
