All this discussion about batteries and new technology cars reminds me to share information about an interesting movie I watched a few days ago: "Who Killed The Electric Car?" It was made by someone who used to own one of the GM "EV-1" cars, and it clearly has a bias.... BUT - it is still quite interesting to see the story about how electric cars were rolled out in California and then slowly killed off (removed from the road and destroyed). Some sad/funny/interesting stuff in that movie. Those of you in the U.S. who have Netflix, I recommend adding it to your queue! -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
