Wife was watching BBT, I was around the corner doing some coding. I heard Raj say "3D printer" and I walked over to the TV to see... the mobo! I told her it was from an Apple II, but her eyes just glazed over as per usual when I point out geeky things. Howard's soldering iron produced real smoke - I hope he didn't damage the board in the process.
