One more thing that just struck me, the old '86 did not have any symtoms at its death in '92, maybe because it was still young but also maybe because it had always worn a bra for protection. The fine mesh of the bra may have prevented the bad stuff from intruding. The water spray might hit the mesh and run down the outside a bit more. Anyway sort of like your mother always told you, and I always did have trouble getting the damn thing on and off :-) John
