Hi Paul,

I know - I was just messing around.  ;-)

I figured some 'technical person' would eventually chime in to give a lucid 
explanation for how voltages and alternating current 'frequency' standards 
vary from country to country or region in order to give Tara the real answer 
to her question on why electrical 'stuff' can't be used willy-nilly from one 
place to another.

******After all, does it not say in the Holy Bible the immortal words:
******    "lefty loosey, righty tighty"?

Now that you mention it, I heard last night that the Gideons were coming 
around to replace all of their hotel bibles ... it turns out it didn't 
actually take "six gays" to create the world.  Go figger!
