Souk,
IMO its the best compliment a father can have when his son thinks the way you do.
I have my practice in an area where retirement is the major industry

The one thing I've found from working with these patients is that it doesn't work unless they want to something better than they have right know and are not discouraged.
If they are then the appliance will end up on the night stand waiting for the dog to eat them.
If you need any help just ask, I'm only Electrically next door on the R1100S BMW forium.
cya.
