computers over to another list member.

By the way, the earth is round...
Any idiot knows it's a torroid.
I looked at a map. It is obviously a rectangle, not round.
But, Mercator and others came up with ways to project that rectangle onto
the surface of a sphere. Minor problem that Greenland comes out
undersized on the sphere.
But, the sphere projection does have the toroidal aspect with a hole
through the middle for an axis on which it could rotate.
From an engineering perspective, always wear the foil hat with the shiny
side out. If the dull side is out, it will act as an antenna, instead of
a shield.
