It was one of the two results of the neutron bomb, the other being a radiation pulse. Much of the damage from the electromagnetic pulse can be prevented by storing magnetic media in a metal box; a.k.a. a Faraday cage <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage> Of course, you might have trouble finding something to read it with after a nuclear strike… … and reading your databases will likely be the least of your worries after Armageddon… L^2 --- Lee Larson [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise.
