Us Govt. patent site was Re: Black boxes

Hi,

Tony J posted a different site I've never used.

Goto: http://uspto.gov

(that's the site of the United States Patent and Trademark Office)

Then to "search patents". If you have the number, just type it in. If
not, the search works pretty well. This site makes me feel better
about paying taxes... :-) Until you want to see the pics/drawings; at
which time you remember this is a govt. site :-(

When this happens, go back to the main site and try the faq's. Follow
the dirs to get a viewer and you're in business.

Hope this helps.
