<Orient> The power supply back panel is accessed via the rear door of
the equipment rack. <Instruct> During normal operation, the power supply
LED on the lower right corner of the back panel is green."

Air and noise. Don't forget the noise. And our latest might
stand out from the crowd for its ... um... vocal enthusiasm.

By the way, that BNC connector?

That might cost you, if you exported that Sproing-o-lator,
even as a commercial-only product.
Because the BNC was part of the design for a piece of military
equipment, the equipment automatically falls into the
"weapon" category of export regulations, as long as the
'commercial' version still retains any of those 'military'
features.

Just like that Jeep where you have a _knockout_ in the
dash that _could_ accept a military radio (and does in
the deliberately military model that you also (or formerly
did) sell).

Can you tell who had the lecture and the PowerPoints just
a few months ago?
