I'm not up for that. I have to use through-hole components and breakout

Beats the alternative - 88 year old Dave

Yeah, I was taking care of my OM in his 90's. Nothing to look forward
to. I have to wonder if, at some point, the alternative doesn't look
better.

But at least I led a life of wine women and song. If you gotta check
out, better to have some memories that you lived life to the fullest;
and didn't waste it being someone else's drone.

I've opened a couple of tablet PC's. Replacing a battery and display is
about the only things I can manage.
