My conclusion is that Ted Smith did not venture outside of aviation and this is precisely what's wrong with the world. Wing Commander Gordon Life is not simple anywhere. Probably less so elsewhere. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:35:45 PM PST US From: Subject: Re: Commander-List: If Ted Smith were Italian... --> Commander-List message posted by: G'day Folks, If Ted Smith had built "ride on mowers" or tractors I reckon he would have had the John Deere range. I love my green and gold John Deere! Cheers Russell (PS Still searching for a 560E/500/680E...not necessarily green/gold!) ---- Original message ---- >Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2006 16:13:48 -0800 >From: "Alan Kucheck" >Subject: Commander-List: If Ted Smith were Italian... >To: > -- Commander-List message posted by: "Alan Kucheck" & lt;akucheck@gmail.com I like my coffee. Ive been though a bunch of grinders over the years and finally got fed up with crap. I went searching for the last coffee grinder I would ever buy it had to be overbuilt, hunky, hard-core. I found what I wanted in an "Italian job" from Mazzer. It stands 18 tall, weighs 22 lbs, has a 1/3HP direct drive motor [must be a 500A/B/S/U model!] and comes with a warning: Intended for skilled personnel only. Here is a picture: http://www.corpespresso.co.nz/mazzer_mini.jpg As I was looking at it this AM, marveling at how incredibly strong and well-built this thing is, I said to my wife, If Ted Smith were Italian, this is the grinder he would have built for his espresso." So, here we go, I thought it might be fun to get some nominations for other gear that Ted Smith might have designed if history had been different. Do you have things so well-designed, so strong, so "classic and right" that, in their own arena, they have that Ted Smith quality and feel? Alan -- ================ ================ ================
