It definitely made me better at soldering (I had to do this one some exotic fax machines), but with most of my motherboards, I just didn't have the time or space to do this. It sucks that manufacturers were never held responsible for this.

I know I am not supposed to complain, but the whole capacitor debacle should have at least given us a 'dead capacitor' option. I have lost 40+ machines, fax machines, media players, and many other devices, thanks to this disaster.
