Ted Re:"And there was an Air Force airborne coffee maker for 14K." The coffee maker was speced to survive up to 40 g's in the event of a crash. Military sturdiness and all that. The trouble was that people died well before that level of g's so they probably did not need the coffe maker after they were dead. Another ridiculous example was the g spec on a lap top PC that would allow it to be dropped from a large height, taller than a person, and survive the fall. More mil spec stupidity that resulted in a laptop that was more than 5 times the cost of a better performing laptop from commercial sources.
