Virtually all powered equipment designed for cardiovascular workouts is loaded with electric circuitry. There are memory circuits for user entered workout regimines, factory installed memories for the same thing, motor speed controls, digital readouts, built in heart rate and television monoitors and just about anything else one can imagine, even fans. Many of the self powered units such as exercise bikes have gel- cell powered circuits and built in user powered battery chargers. Let's face it folks, noise generators are everywhere.
The other day, I bought some FLEXAMIN, a joint easing OTC compound, at the drug store. It was on sale so I didn't need it immediately. I put the bag on my dresser and forgot about it. That night when I turned out the lights, I noticed something flashing red coming from the direction of my dresser. I turned on the light and the only thing there that was new was that bag with the pills in it. I opened the bag and discovered a flashing LED built into the box to attract consumer attention in the store. I hadn't noticed it in the store since the shelf with the display was facing a sunlit window. Now it is a week later and the stupid box is still flashing! What next??? It's gonna get us, folks, Beware! 73 and happy New Year to all. John, W4AWM
