Did see something on TV about them as well. They (TV) emphasized
electronic
gizmos. Yet, they showed an extremely short video of a well pump solenoid
as an example. This is an ELECTRICAL device with moving parts (relay)
that
activates a pump deep within the ground. Think both the news media and
others should look into the difference between electrical and electronic
before trying to convey facts, irregardless if the general public does not
know the difference. A well pump is a source of water, which can be more
im****tant than any PC.
