Like I said in another post, from what I know, the problem isn't with
getting the compound on your fingers, the problem is with getting oil
from your skin onto the freshly applied compound. I do stand to be
corrected there though, they say you learn something new every day
after all.

Yes, that was true for the older boards. I haven't done any of the
newer boards either, (since 2002), but I've been told by people who have, that the boards
you get today do all that stuff in the bios, and they don't have more
than 2-3 jumpers on the whole board.
