You know... I think I'll suggest this. :-)  There are a couple of us
who have already figured that we'll be hanging onto the wheels as they
roll the machine out the door, crying "No!  Don't take our baby!"  :-)
(I've already got dibs on one wheel... yes, I know it's archaic, but
I love it anyway.  Sue me.  :-)
