Dang. Ouch. OK, no leaving that puppy alone. Hacking in a switcher sounds
like a good idea too.

I seem to remember a long time ago seeing small fire extinguishers that
could be mounted under car-hoods to automaticly go off in case of engine
fire. I'm going to see if anything like that still exists, and if it might
be applicable to an electronics application (ie -- dry chemical or intert
gas).
 

Thanks for all the info !
