Has anyone seen the article on p22 of the Dec. '87 IEEE "Spectrum"?
Supposedly it is possible for a buggy program to burn out a flyback
transformer?!?  The example they give is with an IBM PC..., is this
a problem with a Mac SE HD20 also?  I have crashed my SE pretty hard while
debugging some LSC programs (e.g., the bomb box doesn't show up,
but the screen gets spastic and starts making loud noises).  Am
I treading on dangerous ground here?
