I was online [July 3 2023], digging around for a moment of reminiscence to see if there was
much info regarding the Godbout CompuPro S100. And [the] your [Web site] info popped
up. Yay, internet. 

While I'm not a techie in the true sense of the word, I
worked for a time at Godbout's rented quonset hut close by the Oakland airport (CA),
primarily testing hardware. 

In machines under production testing, I remember that not infrequently the
large-ish capacitor pair in the rather heavy-duty power supplies,
when first powered on would explode with an alarming crack.
Not necessarily life-threatening, but something to take seriously.
We'd swap out caps until it turned on with no problems and then send it on
its way to the next step in assembly. No way to test without risk haha. What
a way to do things.

With maybe 5 or 6 employees on the assembly line, at
the most our systems output was low (maybe 50-75 per month max IIRC).
While the big power supply cap failures didn't provide much in the way
of visual excitement (aside from a little smoke) the audio component was alarming.

Of course we played Zork on those machines during work hours.
 
Keep up the good work, and thanks for memory! Very best regards - Allen Whitman
