05-18-05  21:53, Jay Emrie told Ed Vance about Hedy Lamarr

 EV>I haven't looked recently, but I remember COREL having a Movie Star
 EV>pictured on the front of some of their software.
 
 EV>Was that lady Hedy Lamarr or was it someone else?

I couldn't say myself, but it could be. It seems to be either a retouched 
photo, or a raytrace by the looks of CorelDraw 8 here. I couldn't pick Hedy out 
of a lineup, so others might know better.

 EV>Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a lady movie star who also
 EV>helped out the US Military with Data Encryption?

 JE> Correct - but for the life of me I cant remember her name. Was reading
 JE> something about that just a few weeks ago.

If you two go back a few weeks/days, Tom Walker reposted a page or two from an 
inventor type web page for me. Hedy and some player piano aficionado brewed up 
a band switching system to prevent jamming that is in use to this day in an 
electronic form on MilStar.

I'm sure I saved the text proper, and I can dig out the address if you want to 
look-see and can't recall old messages. A Google search will pull it up though.
