What page? These google book/magazine links always take me to page 1.

Found it, page 208.

Sorry about that, dumbledoor. When I tested the link it took me straight to the article--and still does.

Anyone else having similar problems>

No problems; IE8 took me straight to p. 208.
So this is the antithesis to the legendary 'tinfoil hat' - you are *supposed* to have your head bombarded with evil radio waves.

Chome is working as advertised.

I thought, maybe, that this was a DIY haircut machine. :down:

I do not think I'd trust it.

So it sounds like a device to microwave your face. Did I miss something?

The major risk, as always, is to the consumer's wallet.

Ahh, so it is a wallet shrinker!! Harvey got it in one.

Firefox is finding it fine, as well. I thought it was a nose-straightener, at first. But since radio waves, even ultra-short waves pass harmlessly thru the body with no effect, I don't imagine too many peeps fell for this obvious wallet shrinker.

Often times people see what they want to see, that is why snake oil salesmen have always done so well.

Why gee, Patty, that last bottle of snake oil I bought gave me a lovely complexion! :lol:
