[plug] OT: RAM and X-Rays

[Mike Holland]

Christian,
it depends what kind of X-rays. The ones at airports are low-enery, and
low intensity. They are supposed to be safe for computers and magnetic
media. I've not heard of any problems.  But if you are in Upper Volta and
the X-ray machine looks like a colonial relic, you might have a problem.
   Higher enery X-rays can flip bits in RAM. Dont take your Palm into
a CAT scanner.
