I think you must be correct...Because back in my college days (way long ago) I can remember watching the boob tube with friends and someone saying "Man was that ever heavy" Little did I know that he was referring to the mass of the stream of electrons drawing the picture on the phosphorus!
It is amazing the amount of knowledge that resides here at VK
