Is it true that all electronics work on smoke?
And if you let the smoke out, they won't work anymore?
I was under the impression that computer components are
actually boxes of millions of little ladybirds with calculators.
I'm well aware of the problem this causes with regard to how
the actual calculators work so I'll leave this off topic post now.

Well that problem is easily solved....
In those calculators, offcourse, are millions of little ladybirds with

Of course. Electronics 101
Well, you actually can replace the smoke but you need to use the more
technolgically advanced and CFC friendly smoke which is mich more
expensive the the stuff most companies use. Hence the cost to actually
replace the smoke is inversly in proportion to the cost of
manufactuing the smoke. You multiply this figure with the hourly rate
that a qualified "smoke technician" demands and you come up with a
figure roughly 10% higher than purchacing a comparitive component.
The other major concern is the *** between Intel and Microsoft,
you see, Microsoft software will only work on genuine "Intel Smoke". I
am still checking but most UNIX stuff seems to be OK......
