Love it! An Arrarex stanza!

Mats, English might not be your first language but you manage it very well—especially with the right inspiration!

Yeah, I did notice the great prose Mats. Of course, when one has a (working) Caravel it's almost like cheating...they are so inspirational. But I'm often amazed that so many people here in Sweden have such command of English. One of my favorite things about HB in general is getting to hear from people from all over the world. Those of us with native English are really privileged that so many people contribute in our language.

Looking back through some of the pages on the The Arrarex Caravel thread reminds me of all the fun, right down to the original patent drawings someone posted. A marvel of functional design.

Thanks guys, you're nice, and right about the Caravel giving me poetry - yes, it can indeed do this to you. I wonder if its creator knows about the effect it has on its users. Hope he does, or that his family does.
We get lots of positive comments on the machine at work too. Most people seem to just see it and immediately like it - some even fall in love from first sight. Or at least become infatuated with it. Happy new year to all of you!
