I believe the term you're looking for is EMP.

NORAD planners used to expect the soviets to detonate a massive air-burst (something along the lines of the Tsar Bomba, yield wise) over the US in the opening stages of a nuclear war, in order to disable the electronics in the US coast to coast.

Sail boats, row boats, hang-gliders, horse...

That's what I would think too. The best "apocalypse" car would be an old diesel with entirely mechanical injection and converted to run on vegetable oil.

Armored too (IAC Level VI), would be a good idea.

I have worked in a few telephone switches that were supposedly EMP proof, one in particular had 3 exterior walls. Would it survive? I dunno. I have an old Hammarlund tube radio that I would bet big $ would survive but that's not why I bought it.. I bought it for the cool factor. Not that I would be able to power it up if there was a nuke going off.

In all honesty if there was a nuclear war, I would hope to be vaporized in the first attack because life after would be horrible to say the least.

I order my salmonella seared and blackened and have never gotten sick.

How does fish get into peanut butter anyway?

Ooooooooh, is this just another neocon scare tactic?

Fish got into the peanut butter, HAHAHA!
