Having been in a Home Depot recently and having it activate my "kid in a candy store" tendencies (ok, they have "this" and "this" and "this" but why don't they have "that" (where "that" may be something my mind makes up on the fly but nobody other than myself would seriously want) which brings to mind wanting to walk down the aisles of the Sigma warehouse or the Dell warehouse or the Amazon warehouses (ok, I have to stop drooling now)...
<br><br>At any rate Damien, you made the mistake of not citing Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (AiW).<br><br>When I say "turbine vent" I *mean* "turbine vent". And if you can't find that in your catalog, then the problem is in your catalog and not with my non-US-accent!
<br><br>Though, seriously, Google is much better than your local Home Depot rep...<br><br>"turbine vent home depot"<br><br>returns as the second item...<br><br>Turbine Vent - Home Improvement - Compare Prices....

<br><br>The problem isn't that your Home Depot rep is a 1965 computer.
