[HCRA] Did somebody want a Benton Harbor Lunchbox (2 meters)?

TNX Steve.  I'll take another look at the back  of the rig later to digest 
your comments.  I guess I was just  ruminating.
 
I'm reading about a memristor, which they are calling the fourth  fundamental 
circuit element, which has recently joined the resister, capacitor  and 
inductor.  The memristor has the unusual ability to remember the last  resistance 
it held, even when the power turned off.  Memristors hold up to  100 gigabits 
per square centimeter.  They say eventualy these will provide  instant-on 
computers.  After 30 years as a theory, scientists designed the  first one this 
year.  They say 5 years from now memristors could help  eliminate the bootup 
process.  
 
Tomorrow, I help K1MGM teach kids at our KB1LPL School Club Station at  
Talcott Mountain Science Ctr.  I want to show them the lunchbox and  them talk 
about the memristor.  This combination is similar to telling  them about the Ford 
Model-T antique that I saw last week, which had a  screwdriver mobile antenna 
on the back.
