     Yeah! I hear ya! With pretty clueless American Sheeple they never knew 
electric CARS existed, in greater numbers BEFORE Henry built the Model "T" 
for the masses. I deal with this quaint phenonan, every day. In that NYC had 
electric TAXIS in Manhattan, in the 90's, comes as a shock, poor pun, I 
know, to Modern Sheeple. They changed out the battery packs and could keep 
going all day.Not many airport runs in the 90's!Penn Station was UPTOWN!  A 
"Back to the Future " concept as Isrealian Investor Shai Agassi is promoting 
that concept NOW!In his "Better Place" scheme.So many sheeple are CLUELESS 
to stuff that they don't deal with every day!

   As a quaint footnote of history?

    Bob, STILL plays 78's!
