From: "David Blair" 

Something wiggled it, that's for sure. I can't complain, though. I've had
this machine since 1994, it's been through hell, and keeps going. Old P133
Aptiva. Does what I need (which isn't much more than run.) It's been
reliable as can be. And keep in mind this unit got flooded in 1996, dried
out, and kept going. (Not the PS or drives, just a part of the mobo- washed
it with water carefully and it was fine.)
