Business Opportunity

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Boevers/Whatever/photo#5091890998201214162"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/Boevers/RqoH4obK5NI/AAAAAAAAAok/KI1iyrZcna4/lampshade.jpg?imgmax=640" /></a>

 

Here’s an idea for someone that wants to start a business.

 

We’re all trying to save energy and we’ve all been told to use the compact fluorescent lamps.  Great.  Count me in.  Unfortunately, it appears nobody told the lampshade people – or at least, nobody told them 10 years ago so that lamp shades made then would work for lamps (bulbs) manufactured now.

 

The result is like wedging a very small crowbar into a slot on a very thin piece (and comparably expensive) of glass.  Said crowbar is a tool now fairly oten used by the feline population of our particular household.

 

Lights out.

 

So, if you are one of these people trying to find a product we need, how about an adaptor for using standard style lamp shades with the new compact fluorescent lamps.  Just a thought.
