The key word there is "tend." I hope neither of us ever find out. I
saw on either the history or military channel....probably military
channel, a gentleman (don't know his credentials) explained what would
happen if there was an EMP blast and then explained what damage would
occur depending on the altitude at which the bomb exploded. At one of
the levels he said what many of us have heard at one time or another,
that anything with updated technology would be fried. He did say that
older technology "would more than likely" not be affected. Hope we
never find out.
