Remember that thread a month or so ago in which some guy wrote in praising this stapler? To recap: I kidded him about nitpicking (offered to hook him up with a girl smitten by Eberhard Faber erasers).
Well anyway, mine conked out last week and I remembered his advice, looked it up online, and ordered two (one red-one blue/ yeah-they're snazzy/trendy) of the model 1000 ($17.32 each). They came in yesterday and it's just amazing. They're non-electric, but work like one--doing away with 85% (so says the ad and it's true) of the effort required to staple paper (you can staple 20 sheets of paper together using literally one finger).
They're light as a feather and will handily stand up vertically on end to be grasped like a small hand stapler or rest horizontally on the desk, whichever way you prefer. They're not as big or long as a regular full-size stapler, but will still hold a full strip of staples so you're not always running out like a small one-hand model (my old Ace "Cadet" model) does.
Well anyway, whoever you are--thanks! I just thought I'd give the thing a plug since you were nice enough to give us a useful tip and to remind myself--never get "too big for your britches." Just because there's an opportunity to poke fun at something, or it appears to be nerdy/trifling/whatever or is unfamiliar, that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile. I guess I'm saying that we board members here are all comrades and if one of us seriously feels a subject to be worthy of discussion, then it should be given equally serious consideration.
Humility, humility! Isn't that a difficult thing to find nowadays? Only person I ever knew who didn't think there was a shortage of it was an old cotton ginner I used to work with. Sometimes during a Southern summer you can almost swim in airborne moisture and whenever the humidity hit ninety-something percent, he'd say "Man; this humility is terrible today, ain't it?"
