Along the lines of the discussion of RADAR jamming/blasting, I recall a funny comment an M.E. friend of mine that worked on the F16 project at G.D. once said. He told me how some of his buddies at G.D. were putting RAM on the front of their cars to help elude RADAR traps. I asked "gee why RAMs?". After a bit of discussion, we came to the conclusion that to an M.E. RAM does not mean the same as it does to an E.E. To an M.E. (working on the F16) RAM = Radar Absorbent Material To an E.E. (particularily a digital I.C. designer) RAM = Random Access Memory. I thought it was a bit humorous, I hope you folks do too. -- Just the facts Ma'am
