 EV> And while you are at it, what is the Swedish word for a
 EV> Transistor.

 EV> As I typed the word transistor, it made me think of
 EV> something I said to someone last week about my seeing a lot
 EV> of people always talking on their Celluar Phone.

 EV> I told them that I remembered a Comic Book called MAD
 EV> Magazine that I read in the 1950's that had a page in it
 EV> about New Medical Problems.

 EV> One the new problems was "Transistor Radio Ear" and there
 EV> was a drawing showing a human ear that had grown around a
 EV> battery powered radio because the listener had held it up
 EV> to their ear for a very long time listening to it.

 EV> I wondered if MAD Magazine has updated their article to
 EV> include Cell Phone Ear now?

 Has Dick Tracy upgraded from his two way wrist radio? Or his two
 way wrist TV?

 Maybe I should video skype to my daughter on my andriod device
 to ask her what she thinks.
