Santiago	Velocette I have been working in a Trace Elliot Velocette for the last days and I have seen the following text written in the PCB:         " This is an amp jim but not as you know it "         What does it mean?

Having designed PCB's for the last nine years, I can report that it sometimes gets pretty boring and involved. Thus, some designers like to get a little "creative" with their layouts and include little figurines and signatures and such. Kind of like the web site (I forgot where) and book that were devoted to the artwork on silicon chips, where people put cartoon figures and the like on the chip.         Probably some Star Trek fan having fun.

anonymous	A riff on the classic Bones to Kirk line:         "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it"
