Thanks to everyone for all the replies to my previous posting.  Many
of you answered (correctly) that the boxes are indeed electrically
equivalent, but the heat generated by current flowing through the
resistor will cause the Norton box to be warm. I think Jonathon E.
Quist (ihnp4!laidbak!jeq) had the best summary. In addition to the one
box being warm, he proposed suspending both boxes by a thread. The
norton box will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field!

				Thanks again, Austin Mack
