Old mail ... still insteresting..



cid:_2_080FED48080FE98C001E72B16525770A





It's a hard disk drive back in 1956... with 5 MB of storage. 

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a 'whopping' 5 MB of data. 

Do you appreciate your 8 GB memory stick now?

{SamsoNgroup} Microwaved water - a MUST read

Posted by Sarah Kathy at Tuesday, July 06, 2010



Microwaved water - a MUST read


A 26-year old decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before).  I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil... 

When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly the water in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained  intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. 

His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. 

While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven... If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as: a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a tea kettle.


General Electric's (GE) response:

Thanks for contacting us. I will be happy to assist you. 

The e-mail that you received is correct.  Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. 

The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. 

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, 
do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup.. 

After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it.

If you pass this on, you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and suffering.

{SamsoNgroup} Who is gonna win the Football World Cup 2010?

Posted by Sarah Kathy at Tuesday, July 06, 2010


Thanks to Abhi for post...


Somebody s been working overtime with  numbers ........One helluva co-incidence though


 Winner of this world cup is already determined by the numbers....


 1. Brazil won the World Cup in 1994; before that they also won in 1970.Adding1970 + 1994= 3964 

 2. Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won in 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964 

 3. Germany won its last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won in 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964 

 4. Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962+ 2002= 3964 

 5. Therefore if you want to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we 

have determined: 3964.3964 minus 2010 = 1954...   


In 1954 the World Cup was won by Germany!!!


Probably not scientific...  but pretty interesting…
