So far we've never had a return on a failed ZVG!

There was a case where one of the surface mount electrolytic capacitor was
knocked off, but was soldered back on by the owner.  And a case where one was
knocked of in shipment.

These tall capacitors are probably the most fragile thing on the ZVG.  In
retrospect I would probably make them through hole parts if I were to redesign
the board (I'd put a USB port on it as well!  Don't ask, it ain't gonna
happen!).  But still, two cases is not bad...

But even cooler is I have yet to find a bug in the fairly complicated firmware
that drives the ZVG.  I went through a lot of trouble making the ZVG firmware
upgradable, but so far there's been no need for it.  (Fingers crossed)
