Actually, they are called aglets. You should know that... being in the profession, I mean.

Given my humor was not understood I didn't think too many would know what an aglet was so I used a common understandable term. It is a technical profession after all with its own jargon that can be confusing to those outside the craft.

Drive a 2001 Arctic Silver Boxster on the weekends.

			Turned 49 today. National director at a cancer charity (LLS). '98 w/50K. Before: '66 911. My first car was a '63 356B. Sold it to stay in school. Biggest mistake I ever made. Boxster eases the pain nicely.
