Keith,

In the 1960s, at least, Morgans had wood frames and the bolts needed to be
checked for tightness every few thousant miles. (FWIW, they're still being
hand-built -- on steel frames -- and sell for ~$60,000.)

And there was a Ford car that had to be lifted on a rack to change the
rear-most spark plug from underneath.

Have you called Portland Printer Place, 1212 SE Powell, Portland,
503-232-9174? They do only printers and provide excellent service and
advice.

BTW, on a different note, are you aware of the RISC-V open source ISA for
chips? There's an article about it in last week's Economist.

Regards,

Rich
