Newto,
You left out the fork lift and the 14,002 folding chairs in the local
Coliseum. I understand. Some things are best forgotten. It's unbelievable to
me how utterly intrusive the sound of folding chairs being THROWN into place
is to the tuning process. My tool case is already heavy enough without the
optional Pre-emptive strike bazooka, but it is certainly tempting.
