This didn't even compare, though, with the time that Tom tongue-tested
a cellular telephone PS, 10.6VDC, 850 mA. OUCH!!

The power supply output would be 10.6V at 850mA, but much higher when
no current is being drawn from it. This is normal, and you were
probably getting more like 17 volts. OUCH!

That makes sense. The current wouldn't be zero or even close, but much
less than 850mA, I suppose. It was a real buzz, anyway.
