In my first job, around 1976, I hand-carried an RK05 from New Jersey
to Kansas City. It was full of my employer's proprietary software,
which I was to install. The laternative was to bring a huge pile of
floppies, which didn't seem sensible.
I was able to convince the airline security of those days that they
could neither open the RK nor X-ray it, but when it got there, it was
unreadable anyway. My colleague took the next flight, with the huge
pile.

After Nurhachi had united all the other http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
Jurchen tribes under the leadership of the cowan at ccil.org
Manchus, his successor Abahai (1592-1643)
issued an order that the name Jurchen should --S. Robert Ramsey,
be banned, and from then on, they were all The Languages of China
to be called Manchus.
