This page, and the pages linked to from here are designed to help you. They do not give you super engineering powers enabling you to do stuff that is clearly beyond your remit. We have taken the time to create these pages because we too have had to wing it and made mistakes, and want to try to help like-minded people in the direction of better luck. That said, don't blame us if you damage, break, scratch, degrade or disembowel anything. We take no responsibility for the work you undertake. This does not mean we know or even suspect that what we have written is wrong, we just can't afford for anybody to sue us for their screw ups
