Seems there have been a lot of Nuc scrams in the last 12 months. The hot ones are the ones that bother me. Has the activity always been this high and we just didn't notice or are there problems in paradise.

The average had been about 2 per month.
The end of 1999 to early Feb produced
about a dozen. The next few months had
10 and 7. You can check the archives
for the record. I've been pretty diligent
except when I was away at some awesome
party. Earlier in the year my posts were
at the TB2000 site.
