Haha!
I just tried it out and it's something like 20-30 times per step. With
practice you can get a reasonable pumping speed but it looks incredibly
perverse! Besides, it still won't actually walk without a little assistance.
I'm taking a bit of a break right now from this. But rest assured it SHALL
walk unaided!

| My, but those cheap digital cameras do have an odd habit of making red into pink, don't they? :o) Makes me wonder if more people would've bought an 8448 if it HAD been made in pink! ;-) -- Cheers ...
