I'd like to see what that 100 Watts does to the "Segway" (www.segway.com)...

(See Cortland's message below) We as manufacturers have CENELEC and the FCC breathing down our neck over a few dBuV/m. We have the IEEE EMC and Functional Safety paper, all 50 some pages of it, worried about the possibly catastrophic effects of a Palm Pilot next to a crock pot. Meanwhile...Cortland ("KA5S" which stands for "Kills your Auto for 5 Seconds") here is running around town with 100Watts of electronic ignition stopping transmitter wired to his car. I mean, I like the job security of being a compliance guy and all... but why do we bother? (Just meant as humor; I hope no offense is taken. However, if you think about it, all humor (including this email) needs to have a grain of truth to be funny.
