Tell me about it.  My 5V DC supply is rated at 200 Amps.  Just about 
good enough to weld with. :)

Yep.  There was a book written that was all about the amazing beating 
the B-17 could take and still bring her crew home.  The creepiest one 
talked about this shot-up B-17G that landed, but no one got out.  After 
waiting a few minutes they decided to go find out why.  Turns out the 
whole crew was dead.  They figure the pilot expired right after the 
roll-out finished.

> Worked pretty good. Was that a  monogram B-17G kit? God, I must've built 
Probably.  This was back in 1976. :)
