OT RE: [ATM] Active damping and Hedy Lamarr

["Sanderson" <mldsub@earthlink.net>]

Hedy Lamarr and spread spectrum ?  I am old enough
that Hedy Lamarr's name still tends to catch the
attention of the few hormones I still have
circulating in my system.  Surely THIS Miss Lamarr
couldn't have had anything to do with invention.

Turns out I was wrong.  A quick search turned up this
site: 
<http://www.inventions.org/culture/female/lamarr.html>

True beauty and brains.  I am on love all over again.
