Some tests have been run which indicate that even expensive aircraft may
respond to
radio frequency emissions such as cell phones.

A less sophisticated test showed that there were indeed instances of
interference,
but they were very difficult to duplicate. Intermittent situations like
this are
very hard to locate and cure.

It would not be impossible to consider that cell phones, radar emissions,
2-way
police radio, lightning strikes, and other forms of RFI could, under some
complex
set of conditions, cause problems in cars.

The AUDI situation, it seems, has not been totally solved yet. It was
linked
to six deaths.

And last, the Ford Firestone rollovers were linked to several hundred
deaths. One
has to be careful with statistics, and sources of the same. I am sure you
can all find
information that conflicts with, and supports, just about anything anyone
can say.

I have a small wind up mechanical mule toy which walks forward, it was
made in Japan.I think was made soon after World War Two.One side of the
toy was made from an old Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can, I can see a little
bit of the inside of the toy.I can't see enough of the inside of the
other side of the toy to see if there is any advertizing on that half of
the toy.The toy still works, at least it was working last time I wound
it up many years ago.

I am a radio nut every since I was a kid.I reckon I own at least three
hundred or more old radios.Some of them work ok, some of them sort of
kind of work, some of them don't work at all.
