My son worked in avionics for a few years. A customer bought an expensive radio & navigation instrument for his private plane. A few days later he returned in a rage that while all the functions, VOR, OMNI, etc., operated perfectly, the set was completely inoperative in the OFF position - this is true. Also, quite a few years ago now there was an attempt to start a new commercial television network here in the states: The Overmeyer Network," after its namesake. Some pundits observed that its main advantage was to have its initials right by the power switch. Doc.
