Happy New Year Maurice and all Mighty Q threaders---extra, extra, read all about it: special New Years Gift for Maurice. His beloved Sherry can be confidently predicted to power the pdQ in '99! "A New Mexico research firm said yesterday it has come up with a prototype miniature power pack for cell phones thar runs on alcohol--including hard liquor. Manhattan Scientifics Inc. said it has come up with a 'pre-prototype' micro fuel cell that could be used to power a cell phone. Fuel cells generate power through a chemical process without combustion. 'It can run on ethanol--which is vodka. It will run longer on something strong, but we are using a water/ethanol mix that is equivalent to windshield wiper fluid,' Robert Hockaday, the company's chief fuel cell scientist said. 'You could screw the fuel cell into one of those little shot bottles, but then we could have a liability problem--people would be trying to drink their phones'. Hockaday's prototype cell can run for about two weeks on an ampule of fuel, but the company's ultimate objective is six months of uninterrupted usage."

OTOH, if I can drink the stuff en route, elapsed times may vary widely. 1st tee beckons--gotta run--rock and roll gang. Surfer Mike
