Incidentally, in my fight against the all-in-one do-everything computer proponents I make the following suggestion... Clearly there is only the need to purchase one general-purpose brush. This can be manufactured to the lowest common denominator design so that it can adequately perform all of the following functions: Clean floors Remove cobwebs Groom dog/cat Unblock drains Brush suit Dust kitchen surfaces Clean toilet Clear leaves from gutters Brush hair I just can't understand why people don't seem to accept such an obviously practical suggestion. Even if I accept that the 'standard profile brush' may not be ideal for any of these tasks I can't seem to convince people of the convenience factor and ease-of-use benefits. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
