A lighthearted look at testing one's stored computers

Cool! One of my favorite machines died recently. Highly integrated MOBO. So I have given up on collecting (again).
 
That was great! It reminded me of my poor TRS-80 Model 100. Physical condition is great, the screen is great, but it was dead when I bought it. I've been keeping an eye open for one with a bad screen, keyboard, or case.
 
Yes, I wrote that chart as a kind of catharsis after two of my computers, an Apple II+ then and Apple IIe failed one after the other after testing! Others have pointed out I need more arrows going up and that the arrow on the far right (where no problems exist) hardly ever happens..lol

Now that I think of it, I have spent a fair amount of time with "Gaze hard at the circuit boards, willing them to work."

Thanks very much for a good laugh!
