Hello Severus:

You're right! 

BTW, I recall you mentioning a long time ago when the discussion came up that SEBO vacuums didn't have a CRI approval.  I note that they are still not in the queue for the CRI green lable either.  At least not yet.  While Windsor appear to be zipping through CRI on the fast track.

Hello Venson:

This was posted yesterday on this thread.  By M00seUK and DIB.  A short interrupted discussion followed.  I opined that if dyson can't improve the run time on its DC16 beyond 5 minutes [and has resorted to discounting them by $100] after 2 plus years, what makes us think it can develop a car that runs on batteries?

I said yesterday that it was smarter to develop a long lasting auto battery.  There is a $300,000,000 contest for developing a long lasting battery.

Once again J D has proven to be smarter than you Carmine.  Is it any wonder that you are so envious.

Thanks Carmine and my apologies to DIB and M00seUK. Dyson is quite a dabbler.  Call me me when he makes a good blender.

That call will never come.

Exxon-Mobil is smarter than all of us and has the resources to do it.

CIRCUIT CITY, which is suffering from poor sales like many big box retailers, has dropped the dyson vacuum line from its stores.  Keeps the old/to be discountinued dysons [nothing new from dyson at CC] on the Web Site [at least for now].  All dysons at CC are at reduced/discounted prices from MSRP.

Hope it's not tax payer money.  The income tax credits were used for purchases of hybrids too.  Also hybrids were allowed to use high occupancy vehicle lanes without having the required passengers.  Both perks expired recently and to my knowledge were not renewed.  Even at the local levels for traffic laws. 

With the high gas prices, these incentives will not be needed anymore to get people to buy.  As usual the economics of the market place work much better than governmental intervention.
