If you were thinking about having Princess Leia on the Giraffe's screen then you obviously haven't met some of my past managers. :-) It's a great product, Dan, and we will be following the news on your site with great interest. Of course if you would like to send one to TFTS to assist in keeping the staff here in order......:-) Hi Dan,

It is always great to hear back from the ‘people behind the products’, so thank you for taking the time to post a comment.

We've addressed the issue here on our <a href="http://www.headthere.com/blog" rel="nofollow">blog</a>. You can read about <a href="http://www.headthere.com/applications.html" rel="nofollow">other useful applications</a> on our <a>website</a>. BTW, it's true the Giraffe can push open a door, but it can't turn a door knob. We have our hands full trying to teach it to use a light saber!
