Subject:Why 60 Hz From:Steve English <ink -at- MICROS -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 16 Mar 1995 15:54:04 -0500
Mike Johnson sez,
Reduce your exposure to fluorescent
lighting as much as possible, because they also strobe at 60 Hz.
This 60 Hz thing is a conspiracy. It's got to be related to Dilbert
somehow.
It's related to Mrs. Edison's little boy. It's a 60 Hz thing because the
Alternating Current on which it runs is Alternating at that rate, courtesy of
your regional electricity vendor.
