Homebrew PCBs

I maintain several networks for pawn shops. Designed a pawn station with the monitor under a glass counter top.

Guess what gets pawned quite frequently, very large rock band speakers with huge magnets that get layed on the counter.

Was a big problem as the first shipment of monitors did not have a manuel de-gaussing button. Then we used only monitors with manual de-gauss buttons.

Just recently converted to LCDs and no more problems. Side benefit is that the customer can not now read the screen, the viewing angle lets the customer service people see the screen fine but not the customer.

  Yeah, but keep the magnets away from your comP&@^%SFDGJ:WRJ^^&#&#RTSDF

  ....connection lost....


  Don't hurt my feeling by laughing too loudly, but I did just that a while
  back.  After playing with the magnets, I stuck them on the filing cabinet
  next to my desk.

  Later, I switched on my PC - "Why is my screen all wonky?  Ah crap...."
