Another easy way: take two LEDs, hook one to a battery, and have them stare straight ahead while you move it around in front of them. It will look like a "solid line" (sort of like the photo of Picasso drawing the bull in the middle of the air, in the dark, in one very long exposure).Take the other LED and connect it to an unrectified (AC) wall-wart. If it's more than 3V, stick a 560? to 680? resistor in series with one lead, and don't go past 15V or so. Anyway, when you move this one around in front of them with them staring straight ahead, it will appear to blink rapidly.
If they STILL won't believe you, pick up their turntable and wave it around in the air in front of their face!

Ok, the two question marks actually were typed in as omegas, don't know why it didn't post that way, sorry.560 Ohm to 680 Ohm
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
John,The omegas look fine in the post, but the ones that came out in the e-mail from AA looked like this:
ΩΩ, etc.
Arrrgh!
on my keyboard, the key combination for omega is "option-z", works in any font, and shows up just lovely in this window as I'm typing - ? - but doesn't come out that way. I'm assuming to make it work, I'll have to use a key combo that looks like a really weird character on the screen, but comes out fine in a web browser. Hmmm...
You guys can ignore the rest of this post, just gonna experiment a second -
Møøse, Â Måjëstik MØØSE. ?r not square, ?r round. This is definitely not my ƒorte, or is it ?orte? I must have a µ-sized brain to keep doing thi?, or is it thi??

Use html code.."omega" is ampersand pound 8486, no spaces.
I'll find the prop post where I posted every valid ISO-8859 character.
