Glad you liked that bit.  I thought it was a bit lame myself.

I hope Mandy was suitably Mandy-ish, but I don't know if I got it quite right
:o)

Haven't seen them, myself, but cool.  Do these machines not have safety
regulator devices designed to stop you overclocking too far ?

I once read an online article about a group of students who took on an
overclocking project on an old 33 MHz 486.  Using a freezer (set to be really
cold) and some ice packs, and a dehumidifier, they gradually managed to
overclock this poor old 486 up to about 800 MHz before it got too much and it
melted.

Maybe you could feature that in a Nerd Boy strip  :o)
