Has anyone heard of the Borg Johnson Radio? No, what about a Dalek radio? EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! (Sorry, but I'm STILL a "Dr. Who" fan!) Giant pepper pots, cheesy robots allergic to gold, and the campiest archvillian ever devised... plus the 'girl du juor'.. what's not to love about the Doctor? My favorite is still Tom Baker, though Peter Davison wasn't too bad. Don't forget recycled props from other shows, and a rock quarry that was re-used so many times, fans flock to it every year! |
Here is the link to the web page that describes the radio:

I don't know anything about Borg Johnson, but it could be a rebadged radio that someone may be familiar with. Frank Dresser |
"Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... Borg-Johnson, huh?? Meaning if you buy one, you will be ASS-imilated?? Seems the more we learn about Borg Johnson, the less inclined we are to buy. History is, indeed, a fine teacher. A lesson missed by the crew of the Enterpirse on the Next Generation. Had they learned the lesson of one of the sorriest automotive options of the last half of the twentieth century, their greatest enemy would have been no more than an annoying nuisance. Consider the car clock. Not the hand wound version, but the self winding version which replaced it. The hand wound version was no more reliable than it's owner. A forgetful owner might occasionally forget to wind the car clock. Recorded history is largely silent on the troubles which befell owners of run down car clocks, but there's no doubt that the new and improved self winder quickly assimilated the car clock market. The self winder was much like the hand wound type, except the clock was wound every few minutes by a solenoid triggered by contacts connected to the mainspring. Now, if Mr. Forgetful lets his car's battery run down, the car clock's automated winder would wind with increasingly weaker kicks until there wasn't enough juice to kick up the mainspring, but plenty enough to ruin it's contact points. Many, if not most, of these senseless automated self winding clocks had the name "BORG" stamped in on the back in large capital letters. So, the strategy should have been obvious. Encourge the cybernetic organisms to fly around in foggy or dusky weather. Get 'em to drink a few. Mandate a 24 hour headlight law. Oh, sure, you might say, "Well, they'll just call up their role models, The Daleks, jumpstart the Borg Cubes, and be as powerful and dangerous as ever!" Powerful, yes. But far less dangerous -- once that moment's negligence permently cost them the ability to be Ticked Off. Frank Dresser |

Wow....did you see the claim from the Borg Johnson radio....Each of these 12-band portable radios, which are designed for use by both civilians and the military are so powerful they can not only draw in transmissions crystal-clear from anywhere in the world – but even from deep space! Actually not so far fetched since some of the noise we get on our shortwave receivers comes from the sun and space in general. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |
