Amen! I have used an electric lawnmower for about eight years, and it is wonderfully clean, quiet, reliable and hassle-free. And in case you're wondering, no, I have not ever mowed the extension cord. Happy mowing -- Walt Haas

There's an art to mowing with an electric lawnmower so as not to munch the cord. Basically you start with the side of grass which is nearest the cord, and keep the mower turned so that the cord is always on the outside (that is, on the side where the grass has already been cut). It helps a *lot* if you have a mower which can have the handle flip in both directions. Dave Sherman Toronto -- dave at Toronto (CSnet) {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
