[Fascinating ... they appear to communicate by pulses of electricity.]

I thought the Swahili for freedom was "Uhuru".  Can any Swahili experts
help?

	Well, come to think of it, the first
X-ray sattelite was called "Uhuru", which meant
freedom (I am fairly sure.) However, it is
quite possible that 'Uhura' Is simply a
different (feminine???) form.
