   At last, the inevitable has transpired! On Friday I took my 1980 integer   
   Apple II out of its box and set it up. Saturday afternoon, after playing   
   Jungle Hunt, I heard the crackling noise. And saw the whisp of smoke.   
      
   This isn’t the first time a RIFA has given it up, so I acted quickly to   
   switch off the power. Carried the still-smoking Apple out of the room, and   
   opened some windows to let in fresh air. Next step is to hunt around and see   
   if I have an extra capacitor. I think the last machine I had to replace was   
   a Mac 512K. I may have ordered an extra then.   
      
   Service life in this Apple II: about 43 years. Not bad!
