        I have tried to help someone work on the carburetor of their
Packard Clipper (1957?) illuminated by a Newton 2000.
        Don't.
        Someone once made the comment about sex that "The positions
are ridiculous and the pleasure is fleeting." Trust me, this applies
to Newton assisted Packard repair in *spades*. I'm sorry if I sound
bitter about this, but I am. That's why I carry *two* flashlights on
my keychain now.
