What is the point of 2-pronged polarized electrical plugs? (The kind where one prong is wider than the other.) It seems to me that the only difference in "signal" between the two prongs is a 1/120 second phase shift. It is a rare gadget indeed to which this matters. -- John Oswalt (..!sun!megatest!jao)
