As usual, Lawrence, you have once again entertained the piclist with
nothing more than a description of your job.  At least I find it highly
entertaining!

Unlike Russell and some others, I have no great advice for you.

Well... How about sending it to the show *without* the cord retractor and
even without the cord.  Tell them it's the new wireless model. "Bluetooth?"
they ask.  "No, we're way beyond blue.  UVtooth..." you tell them.

As far as your long term job prospects go, just let us know if you
encounter any difficulties with the 'suits'.  1000 letters from piclisters
who have read your emails over the years on the trials and tribulations of
modern appliance design will set them right.

"Dear Appliance Executive, we the undersigned are here to tell you Mr. Lile
has one of the most difficult jobs around and does excellent work.  Think
seriously about promoting him."

Just say the word, Lawrence, just say the word!
Best of luck with your retractor contraption!
Tom
