Discharging a VT100 CRT

Yeah, with all the hauling of crap I've been doing, I'm kicking myself for
not buying the station wagon (Magnum) version of my Charger.

Thankfully though, I was able to break down the H9612 into its component
parts and fit it in the car.

OT, but I drive a 1991 Citroën XM.  I can fit all of my tools in, a 
comprehensive set of spares (including 5l of hydraulic fluid), and still 
squeeze a couple of cases in.  If I fold down the back seats I can fit 
an LA36, a stack of manuals, and all the aforementioned tools, and still 
see out the back window.  Fitting my PDP11 rack in there was no biggie.

Now if I could get my girlfriend to let me buy a CX Break I could keep a 
Smart Coupe in the back as a spare...

Gordon.
