Very disappointing. Now I will have to revise my mental image of Julia "Dirty Harriet" Thompson, pointing her tape gun at a box and saying "Go ahead, box, make my day". :-) BTW, we *do* have that kind of tool over here in Europe as well. But since we are not as gun-crazy as Americans, we simply call it a tape roller instead of a tape gun. (Is it not a characteristic of a gun to have a trigger? Where is the trigger on a tape gun?)
