[ARC5] ARC5 Digest, Vol 245, Issue 3

[Matt P]

Thank you all for the prompt feedback; I was expecting to have to wait at
least a day ot two.
I have tried various size solder wick to no avail, but may have to drive
over to the other house and get a larger soldering iron; 27 watts may not
be enough.  I have a desoldering station, but the tip is waaaay too small
to fit over the pins, I'll take a look and see if I can get one of those
hand-held guys with the large Teflon tip as Mike suggested.
