 Yup, that's what I think happened. However, I *also* think permanent damage
has been done, since even after having been left off overnight, the machine
will no longer boot, and as I said, the BIOS reports only one CPU. I'm pretty
sure at least one of the CPUs in the machine is fried, and possibly both.

 Sincerely,
