Oh joy. Went through that last year. Lucked out and found that one of
the local community colleges runs a training program for mechanics for
one of the manufacturers. Changing to the new coolant and repairs was
about $200 instead of the $1000 quoted everywhere else.

Uh, I usually try to put it at the bottom of the compost heap. ;-)
When we were in San Diego last fall, the conference center had planted
a bunch of tubs of it all around the courtyard. I figured they were
making a statement about hosting a bunch of computer nerds for a whole
week. Folks would walk through the area, then start giving each other
dirty looks and walking farther apart... ;-)
