Shit happens. ;-)

In my case, I ran a BBS system on my C-64.
It worked really well, although the things I had to do to it to make that
so-called computer behave like into a decent BBS belong in alt.hackers.

And then, after two months of uninterrupted operation, the power supply looked
kind of saggy -- it was starting do melt. Because a lump of plastic with some
metal inside conducts heat even worse, it started to flow off my desk faster
and faster. 

Luckily, a cheap-and-dirty power supply for it needed only a 7805, a
transformer (of course), and two condensators. Those were the days...
