For my crazy family, or something to do while it rains

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

From Electrical Fundamentals, War Dept. technical manual TM 1-455 10 August 1944
RESTRICTED

Power is essentially a function of voltage and current (ExI).
Therefore:EpIp=EsIs+Transformer losses.
The Transformer is a relatively efficient apparatus and in many cases the transformer losses can be neglected.
In such cases EpIp=EsIs.

AppleShare IP, by Tom Dell.

No problem. AppleShare IP's thoughtful engineers have provided a
place for you to organize little details. Simply choose *Comments* in
the pop-up menu and leave yourself, or other administrators, some
notes. You can type up to 255 characters here.

Painfully out of date book, but I keep it on my desk for nostalgia.
