Msg from thecow: "... when you drug the corners" :o) - a short true story Many years ago I helped another do minor work on their car, just drain the radiator and replace old worn hoses with new. Two hoses needed, one short & straight, one J shaped. The short one cost $5, and the J one cost $15. I always watch clerks behind the desk do things, and i saw him remove a U shaped hose from a bin and he then walked over to a cutter, of sandwhich I Yikes shouted outloud to him to tell me if he is gonna make a I and J from the U. He said yes. I then asked what the U hose cost, and he said $7. Next I asked if that cutting tool had any advanced internals, or was it just two sharp blades. He said its no different than a knife, and once cut, its ready to be used. - Wal-Mart e-machine pc $499 w/ monitor & Windows XP Home compusa.com Windows XP Home Edition (PC) Product Number:285737 Brand: Microsoft $199.99
