wearing magnifying glasses once they get a couple of inches away
they join the blur. Also they seem to posses some strange
property where they can avoid or curve the effects of gravity.
I searched the nearby floor by brushing it with a 1 inch
paintbrush into little piles. I found lots of escapees from
other projects, but not that damned switch.<br>

I know I've got a spring loaded solder sucker some where. There
is a high probability that it will be in the last place I
look...<br>

<div>Hi Alex</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just out of curiousity, by "lose" do you mean "destroyed
by excess heat" or "they pinged out of the tweezers and flew
across the workshop, never to be seen again"? It's just that
I am currently much afflicted by the latter, and I wondered
if I was in good company. :-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The solder-filled holes sounds like one of the few
incidences of a "solder sucker" being useful, but modern
construction is so darned small...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My fingers are crossed for you.</div>
