I apologize for the previous post.  For some reason my mail server decided
to post just my .sig file instead of the entire message.

Now, for the question I tried to ask last time:  has anyone on the Net ever
heard of a device called a plasma saber?  I've seen something called a "Space
Age Plasma Saber" advertised in either Popular Science or Popular Mechanics.
Is this supposed to be a functional weapon, or just something for visual
effect?  I've done business with the company that advertised it, Information
Unlimited, a couple times in the past, but I haven't gotten any literature
recently from them and the ads piqued my interest.  If anyone has any info
on this device, please send me a summary via E-mail.  Thanks in advance.
