From: LLDiva@aol.com Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 03:28:20 EDT Subject: fantasy pump To: balloon@balloonhq.com I have been thinking about this very thing. I used the B&D pump and I loved having the extra hand to do the swirly balloons. I can't use that now, too heavy, so I have to take the time to wrap it around someone else's finger. Makes for good patter, but I would like that to be optional. so: 1. One hand to operate. 2. Already set up - no converting anything, getting the right bag, etc. 3. Small. 4. Low maintenance/dependable. (!!!!) 5. Air hose very flexible and can easily vary in length, so it can fit in different costumes without much trouble. 6. Batteries last forever (ok, 3 to 4 hours would be reasonable). That's all I can think of now unless the capuchinno machine can be rigged up. Laura Balloon Divas in Denver
