Adrian, thanks for the info.  I'm surprised to hear that it's made from
plastic, I would have expected metal.  It's amazing how expensive plastic
can be...

I've received comments from others on this item too.  Basically, I draw the
conclusion it is an expensive extra that doens't perform particularly
brilliantly and without which Life is most certainly possible.
