You will from me, Mark. :)

My top one had a nasty propencity to gradually shaking the chip out, 
creating a temperature dependendt random miss/stalling problem. Guess 
how many days it took me to figure that out and stop chasing my own tail 
looking for a presumably loose contact in one of the temperature 
sensors. No more ZIFs for me. Thank you, but no, thank you. From that 
point forward I only used regular 28-pin Au-plated sockets with zip ties 
for a good measure.
