   That was our original system.  The straps often got twisted up in side the   
   return    
   asswmblies, so difficult to deploy(& lots of lost time in rush hhour, usually);   
   the new hooks system isso uch faster & more reliable.   
      
   A-to-B & I'm happy.     
      
   Or even A to A & 3/4 & I can wheel the rest.   
      
   When I first moved out here into the 'burbs, it was great, I hads a bus pick me   
   up just outside my place, dropped me off a half block from work; coming home, I   
   wheeled 5 minutes & took the train to a st9op- where the same bus picked me up   
   &    
   dropped me across the street from home, with an air-conditioned ride (I'd tilt   
   my    
   chair back & sleep on the way home, after a busy 12-hour shift)   
      
   Now it's more complicated,but a similar total time, if I have to go downtown,   
   but    
   my job is all online now.
