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.

You can find any number of hysterical alarmists and conspiracy theorists
that would agree with him, and likely have just as ethereal credentials.

FWIW: I live in SoCal (a prime military target zone) and am not worried.
I'm much more worried about those howling rabid chupacabras just outside
the back door, gnawing on my coax g

Who is "hysterical" Bob? You maybe over exaggerating in your words
there? ;-) That's fine that you are not worried about anything,
definitely makes life easier that way.;-) Hopefully if the big
earthquake ever hits that area (that I was taught was going to happen
back when I was in the 6th grade) and you survive, you won't be in
front of the tv cameras crying saying "I've lost everything" etc. etc.
etc.

Same thing with New Orleans, I was taught from at least the 6th grade
that is was only "when" the big one (hurricane) would devastate that
entire area....that it sits in the bottom of the soup bowl. EVERYONE,
that I know at least, knew that you would absolutely have to be a fool
to live there. Fast forward to Katrina...."Where's our gubiment, we
need our gubiment....lol." All I did through all of that was cut a
small two hundred check and send it and shake my head and roll my
eyes. I won't be cutting one ****when**** the "Big One" hits the Cali
area, sorry guys in here that live there but I just don't understand
it. ducking beer bottles
