I've been reading the Y2K Beta version and have so many questions I  
can't remember them all. However, here are a few:

1st. In chapter 9 there is this statement:

"Ok so you have run all the subassemblies through the dishwasher."

This whole section is written in a rather tongue in cheek style. Is  
the author serious? Is it really a good idea to run the sub-assemblies  
through a dishwasher? If so, any recommendations concerning  
temperature settings & detergent? My XYL is away for a week. Now would  
be a good time to strike if this is an approved procedure.

2nd, Figure 5-9 Page 5-21 shows a rather sparse drawing of the power  
supply module. Below the drawing there is a note:

Note: FC6 REPLACES V801 AND V802 WITH CR801 AND CR802

What is FC6? What is CR? (as in CR801) Is this a tube? Is it a SS  
Diode? (SS = Solid State)

The Y2K seems to be a very scholarly attempt at being a control  
document. However, I think it would be a good idea to add a list of  
definitions. It would be great to have one place to go to find the  
definition for all the acronyms & unusual nomenclature. After all, How  
many of you can tell me what a REMF is? Here is a hint. My former boss  
was a REMF! LOL (Lot's Of Laughs).

All for now, I will post as I remember more questions.
