@PathDaemon:No, no, no.From wiki: "In electronics, solid state circuits are those that do not contain vacuum tubes or relays."Perhaps more accurate, solid state circuits use diodes and/or transistors. Circuits can also be passive (no electronics). So, the above statement isn't always true, as a passive circuit can have no vacuum tubes or relays and still not be solid state.You could have been thinking that tubes are electronic, and that is certainly true. 'Electronic' essentially means electrons being controlled by electrons, which applies to almost all circuits today (vacuum tubes included, so long as they have more than three elements (triode and above)).

Vista sucks?Also, my way is much simpler than the article. So simple, in fact, that it only requires two words. Radio Shack.

Well it is actually one word, not two.

Break one open each time you need to vacuum the floor!

No thanks, I would rather just buy one. No mess, no fuss and I know it will work.

yeah i love the idea but i would rather just go buy one for 20-40 bucks, this one looks kinda jank

My bad. Was referring to having no moving parts.

Cool! A bit arrogant, I think.
