[OM] zapping mail, batteries

Someone here posted a link to a Rollei site where there were very well
presented instructions for building one of these adapters, at a very low
cost. Problem is, out of a half dozen or so parts, all were easy to find,
but one or two were mind-numbingly difficult to get in small qualtities. If
you live in whatever European country where the designer lives, you can buy
a kit at a reasonable price. For those of us here in the land of milk and
honey, it was another subject.

The business of mail zapping has ben addressed on photo.net. It seems that,
to date, only a few post offices in New York and Washington, DC are equipped
to irrradiate mail. It seems that mail is selected for zapping by a process
known only to television psychic Miss Cleo. The small quantity zapped is all
but destroyed. Mail appears to have been subjected to extreme heat. Ordinary
paper is brown and crinkled. Window envelopes have the windows melted onto
the mail they contain. The ugly part of this lottery is that only a small
percentage of mail is so treated. Other damage is left up to the individual
postman.
