Think of two birds, both sitting on the same wire of a 110.000 Volts high-voltage power line. They don't have trouble grinding their peckers, even though they did not "touch a radiador" before. Although it is hard to imagine how they could reach a radiator, let's assume they could - I would not even think about doing that :-) . ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=268753#m269004 Need assistance?
