	Jim, stay with us on this one. We can work you through the Makita
thing.  upon successful completion of the *Twelve Steps of the Galoot* you
will be using, and liking, a different sort of cordless drill.  The
one-handed models are mostly Yankee, made by North Bros.; two-handed by
Miller's Falls and many others.  They don't weigh nearly as much as your
green plastic pistol jobbie, take their energy from the food you eat, and
are q.u.i.e.t.
