I understand this is NOT just a group for dopes who stand behind desks. You can
form one if you like.

Understand yet ?

Specialist groups exist for that type of design. This is the only live sound one
anywhere.

Part of their plan to go upmarket. The blue oval just doesn't cut it. Same
with Volvo.

No, we have water heaters that are separate devices, and they are usually
running on natural gas, not electric.

I've had both in this house, and the difference in monthly costs are
humungeous for a family of 6. The payback for the gas water heater upgrade
was about 2 months in those days.

That was no doubt the case when the hammer was invented by the Egyptians, as
some historians suggest.

Most carpentry tools were designed and first built by carpenters.

In the old days, a rookie carpenter might be detailed to make himself his
own set of tools, and the toolbox as well.

That's one reason why many of the old tools were works of art.
