   HG>EV>I've read articles where the writer called them Valves.   
   HG>EV>In your area do you call them Valves or Tubes?  Thanks.   
      
   HG>See, we talk swedish here so we don't use either but in Great Britain   
   HG>they are called valves while in US-english they are tubes.   
      
   Would you tell me how you would write the Swedish word for a vacuum   
   tube?   
      
   And while you are at it, what is the Swedish word for a Transistor.   
      
   As I typed the word transistor, it made me think of something I said to   
   someone last week about my seeing a lot of people always talking on   
   their Celluar Phone.   
      
   I told them that I remembered a Comic Book called MAD Magazine that I   
   read in the 1950's that had a page in it about New Medical Problems.   
      
   One the new problems was "Transistor Radio Ear" and there was a drawing   
   showing a human ear that had grown around a battery powered radio   
   because the listener had held it up to their ear for a very long time   
   listening to it.   
      
   I wondered if MAD Magazine has updated their article to include Cell   
   Phone Ear now?
