HG>See, we talk swedish here so we don't use either but in Great Britain
HG>they are called valves while in US-english they are tubes.

Would you tell me how you would write the Swedish word for a vacuum
tube?

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

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

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

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

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