In trying to finf info re my Wang , Wang Users Group turned up empty, so I did a general search on "Wang". What fun. I found out there's a hell of a lot more Wangs than Jones out there. And a good proportion of them are scientists. Wangs like to display themselves and one even had pictures of his wife and his sister on his page. Among the Wangs on display were Joy C Wang, Junping Wang, Leiping Wang, Linping Wang and the saddest, Weiping Wang (maybe a pseudonym for linping) There was Gang Wang and Wang Man but the most impressive Wang was : Wang Jinrey a fighting philosopher Nationality China Fighting Style shin-irokugoken Age 84 Height 165cm Weight 56kg Bloodtype B I was especially impressed that they included this fighting philosophers blood type. I also found out that bin wang wasn't a binary file and wang fan wasn't a computer enthusiasts group. There was also a geographical perspective with the Phuket jewelry shop in Wang Talang Siam , the King Wang Hotel in Taiwan, and the Wang Centre for the Performance Arts in Boston. There's also a Wang differential geometrical theorum used wildly by scientists. Then I dicovered I could finger wang@risc and after 60 Lycos pages of URLs with nary an end in site ,my energy petered out I was getting giddy and laughing hysterically at every Wang thang . There's just too damn many Wangs out there and I exited without finding any references to my Wang.. On a less humorous note I did find a UK source for Wang and NEC as well as other laptop batteries. MDS Batteries. Likely pricey to ship them this side of the pond but they did have some specs so maybe one could make yer'own. ciao larry lwalker(a)interlog.com
