Hey, that's Georg!


His brother in law was Elmer Mho who studied vacuum tubes (valves).  In fact they named the unit of transconductance after Elmer.  Georg was furious and threatened to hold his breath until he turned blue but Elmer talked the international Standards Committee to name something, anything after Georg.  In an act of sarcasm they named the unit of electrical resistance (the inverse of conductance) after Georg who's last name was Ohm.

I don't know who it is but he looks pretty damn smart.  And maybe just a tad grumpy.

If I ever figure out what's in the box then maybe I can think outside of it.

RP was right, it's none other than Georg Simon Ohm a german physicist of 19th century fame. And no I wouldn't, I don't like parlaying with Ghosts, friendly or not!

hmmmm.....


If he was standing in front of me, I would buy anything he had to offer just to get him out of the door (or through the door - whatever he might prefer)
