Thanks, but it is more like "even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then"... I don't know why I remembered about Heydrich, I guess watching too much History Channel:laughing:

Correction to my question of tallest mountain. I gave the height as 30,000 plus. It is actually about 56,000.
How High is Mauna Loa?
"On clear days we are able to see Mauna Loa and often include information about this majestic volcano in our talk. Most of the students are aware that Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world, but most are surprised that it is also the highest from base to summit. Its gentle slope and shield-like shape belie the greatness of this edifice.
The heights of mountains are generally given by their elevation above a datum, such as sea level. The highest point on Mauna Loa is 4,170 m (13,680 ft) above sea level. But the flanks of Mauna Loa continue another 5,000 m (16,400 ft) below sea level to the sea floor. The massive central portion of the volcano has depressed the sea floor another 8,000 m (26,000 ft) in the shape of an inverted cone, reflecting the profile of the volcano above it. Thus, the total relief of Mauna Loa, from its true base to its summit, is about 17,170 m (56,000 ft)."

Well, when I think of American motorcycles, I think of Harley! I didn't think they were ever assmebled anywhere but here, but like I said, I really don't know about motorcycles.

In the 30's Harley went to Japan & they were made in Japan for domestic consumption. To the best of my knowledge none were brought to the US.
Harley also tough them something very important. They learned that lesson pretty well except for one little thing.
What might that be??
On the Apple question.
No One has come Close Yet. This gadget was Illegal in every state. In a way it was computer related.

I am going to take a real far out there WAG... a direct connect modem? Would this have been before the 1968 Carterphone decision allowing connection of consumer owned devices to the telephone network? Just grasping for straws here.
