Two machines from the fire
Date: 08/10/2003
Ruckus (on right) and another machine had already been removed from the garage and were sitting on the driveway. Many more machines are still in the garage pending the fire investigation, but these machines were removed by firefighters, apparently because they were in the way. This was fortunate for me, as otherwise I\'d still be waiting to get the machine back.

Bagged ruckus on workbench
Date: 08/11/2003
I doubled-bagged ruckus using 30-gallon garbage bags for transport. Even so, the trunk of my car is now permeated by the burnt plastic stench. We\'ve moved ruckus onto a workbench but haven\'t removed the bags yet.

Steve is removing the case screws. After this, we used a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the inverted U-shaped cover from the machine.
