(...) yes. :/ they are evil and vile. they chew the wire, and eat the rice from the rice game. I've told Bruce time and again that the solution to many of his problems is to get rid of the cats. I think he's up to 12 cats now. Chris (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Ya I don't see any problem with this. It's a very low friction solution. Now I wouldn't do this with 8 toothed gears, but with 40 it's quite reasonable. Derek (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
