- Wow... It never ceases to amaze me how many responses you get to a
- post. There have to have been at least 6 of these. Maybe it has something
- to do with the way News works. I mean... I checked to see if
- someone else had followed up before I did. Maybe somebody else out
- there is doing the same thing right now.
-
- You what would make a good story...
-
- Something about a guy who says an 850W appliance at 110V pulling
- 93.5 amps after there have already been at least 6 posts giving
- a correct answer.
-
- The amperage is about 850 / 110 or around 8 or 9 amps.

- Party On...
