Ya know, all this discussion of light bulbs, reminds me that this is a
misnomer.  They are dark suckers.  When you turn one on they suck all =
the
dark out of the room.  And then, when they are full to capacity of dark,
they quit functioning.

Must be true as it makes as much sense as some of this.

Cheers from chilly Minnesota,=20
