and <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">my Junior Deluxe -- which to my pleasant surprise, I found out was made in France!</span>

And then, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">he moved on to my Senior Ranger ...</span>

Before "Zippy" arrived, <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">we had a chance to play with a few of the machines I brought along with me.  Here's Matt, giving my Junior Dirtsearcher a quick spin.</span>

John's culinary skills are legendary ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... and the results are most enjoyable (as I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you who have been to his meets in the past)!  Here, he's preparing those delicious egg creams he spoke of earlier.</span>

And Murphy, just taking everything in his stride <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">despite the presence of a non-HOOVER entity in the household!</span>

OK -- now MY photos! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">First, here's John's cat Arthur before his feline meltdown ...</span>

If I had to describe my first mini-meet in one word ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... it would be awesome with a capital A!  I had so much fun -- and John is an absolutely wonderful host!  I'm so blessed and honored to have made his acquaintance.  Rob and Matt, you both...

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Nice job, Chris!</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">-- Bill W. </span>

I'm afraid you're pretty much out of luck. <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Billy,</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I hate to have to tell you this, but when TTI Floorcare North America bought Hoover from Whirlpool they pretty much decimated whatever...

Ninja blenders <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Are kissing cousins of Shark vacuums -- they're both made by Euro-Pro.  And to be honest, Joe, I used to think that VitaMix blenders were "out of my league" costwise as well -- but I visited the VitaMix factory in suburban Cleveland...

I'd say that it's all a matter of ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... personal preference.  When I use my bagless machines -- either one of my two Dysons (DC07 All Floors upright, DC11 Telescope cylinder), one of my two Electrolux Twinclean cylinders, or my Electrolux...

They're a little too new to be rare ... <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... but if that one cleans on the ceiling instead of the floor then it really IS rare!    All kidding aside, I'm just joshing you about your upside-down picture (not to be nasty or anything).  Those cleaners...

After checking out your firm's website, Guy, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've sent you an e-mail requesting additional information.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">-- Bill W.</span>

Contrary to "popular" belief <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Oreck may be DOWN, but they sure as heck aren't OUT!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">-- Bill W.</span>

Turbo500, am I mistaken ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... or is that Hinari kettle of yours the same type as the one Hyacinth Bucket had in her kitchen on "Keeping Up Appearances"?  And that Tefal one ... I might be wrong but I think that a cordless variation of it...

There is actually one not too far from my home <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">It's located in North Tonawanda, NY (whereas, I live in the Town of Tonawanda).  If I'm not mistaken, there's also one in Downtown Buffalo.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'...

The other machine ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... is my Silver-Reed 8650.  It was a recent $5 estate sale find, believe it or not!  Came with the case, a decent ribbon, the manual, and a bunch of "ko-rec-type" strips!</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet...

While I like to use my computer ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... whenever I'm working away from home (or when I need the output to look "just so"), I prefer to use one of my two portable electrics for routine correspondence, recipes, and whatnot.  I tried working with...

Tom, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">That sounds absolutely awesome!  Despite the fact that St. James is a 13 hour drive from my home (one-way), I might just make an appearance myself.  I've got plenty of vacation time open this year, and nothing to do with it!</span>  ...

Did anybody who posted in this thread get what they wanted? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I certainly did ... or at least one of them!  I'm still looking for the Eureka 1212 or its Panasonic counterparts and either a Westy or Sunbeam Twin Fan (passed on the Westy that was...
