Many years ago, Dick Cavett had the CEO of GM on his show, and Dick
asked him if GM could make a car like a Mercedes Benz. The answer was:
"Yes we can, but we'd have to charge the same money as a Mercedes
Benz." (Now, please, don't get into my face about MB not being all

Buying them is not too too bad, making them run like a bunny and
keeping them running like a bunny costs lots. LOTS.

I had just written a comment about you and your Audi and decided that you
may have had the 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 which gave reliable and
inexpensive
service. Then I read this comment and deleted my comment. ;~) Had 2
VW's
with Audi parts all over them... Probably the most unreliable and most
expensive to maintain vehicles my wife and I have ever owned. Cool cars
though, when they were not in the shop.

I'm waiting for the Festool truck ... with 6' bed that pulls out to 8',
built-in dust extractor, MFT, and fPadPhonePod.

It's also cold, hard, and much more dangerous. Fall on the carpet and
you get a bump. Fall on tile and you can break bones or crack skulls
and die much more easily. If you go barefoot, it's hard on the feet as
well as being very cold (unless you spend $10k on radiant flooring.)

Methinks we're a full 180 apart on this one.

Cold? We have a difficult time getting cold here in El Paso. We *Love*
cold.

It's not as easy to trip and fall on tile as it is on carpet. G

Barefoot. Ah........the coolness of a tile floor. .........exhilarating.
But Mama don't allow no bare feet here.

Methinks you're right.

Let me ask you pet owners a question: Why do you let your animals go
without showers/baths for weeks when you wouldn't let yourself, mate,
or kids do the same? And then why do you complain when the carpets
stink? I don't get it.

Hmmm. We have more tile than carpet in our house. The Missus likes the
ease of keeping the tile clean. At my insistence, we have carpet in the
master bedroom. Extensive use of "throw" rugs in the other bedrooms and
the bathrooms keeps the tile from chilling sensitive feet.

As for the countertops, I like a "durable" surface even if it breaks
dropped plates and saucers because the plates and saucers are cheaper
(and easier) to replace.

I'm wit' you on that one Larry. I don't like cold floors. Our bathroom
has tile around the shower area and we've got throw rugs all over to make a
warm path to the appropriate places. Tile lasts well, cleans well, but then
so would bare concrete and both are equally comfortable to feet.

Around here, the cat is self-cleaning. Since the dog isn't, she lives
outside.

Showers eh? My cat would rip me to shreds if I tried that. Much easier
to use a fine toothed comb. When I pull it out, she stretches out and
purrs up a storm.

Freud also make very nice metric blades - I have one in my tiny

I got the protool saw in a deal when buying the older style festool
bench in a runout. The only critisism that I have is with the adapter
that matches it to festool track - it puts the sawblade about 10mm to
the right of the track so I can't line up just using the edge.
