there goes the neighborhood…
Sure, they made it, but it looks like a deli-counter meat slicer, and I’d like to know how many books it treats like a hunk of salami…
Google and their initiative to control literature deceased writers poured their life into… I am sure this is not how they wanted their books to end up. Google needs to compensate the families of the authors if they are going to do this.
A deli slicer and a vacuum? I’m scared.
Thats pretty cool stuff! I heard that they run these machines with a Miele vacuum on one of the lower settings. I read a review on this <a href="http://vacbin.com" vacuum review site about the Miele and how it performs.
