Hi! Quick "hump-day boredom" question... Why the heck do many staplers have the flippable strike-plate, so you = can have the prongs of the staple go outward??? I've tried it this way a = couple of times, and the prongs never crimp down as well, and they tend = to get caught on stuff and lift up. I'm sure there's some extremely valid pre-historic reason for this, but = I have know idea of what it is... Anyone? :O) - Robert -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics
