But be careful with that file!  A co-worker once filed down a card for me.
Mike was a bit careless for he filed off too much.  Much grief followed
because the card fingers became mis-aligned with the connector fingers --
card fingers shorted adjacent connector fingers.  Mike eventually rebuilt
the filed edge with epoxy.  I trashed the first board (accidentally,
of course :-) when the second board was made available.
