:-P

Yeah, I suspect that's partially it. I was sortof wondering if they did 
some of that "upgrade" for the TV show, or if the actual owner himself 
(herself?) actually did that because it looked "cooler".
Anyway, the way the whole thing just went on and immediately lighted up 
makes me think that it was just front panels and lamps, and no real 
hardware involved in that whole scene. Otherwise most people should 
remember the delay between power on and ready lights actually coming on.
