Dave, on the topic of how a math chip works its way out of its socket, it's been proposed that the continuous heating and cooling (turning the computer on and off, in other words) is enough is gradually work the chip out. At any rate, I went two years just fine, then suddenly my Weitek had jumped its socket. I pushed it back down, and all's okay. It happens, I guess. –PhilD
