Ah, yes, a true beauty. I once rebuilt an A300, working blind. A harrowing
task. There were several of those "Oh shit" moments: where you unscrew a
screw or something and hear not one but two or three things klunk apart deep
inside the thing. I managed to get it working fine, but I still don't quite
know how I made it out alive. <s>
