In post # 23, JHoagland stated, "...their plunger-hand wasn't exactly useful for working at a keyboard." I can only assume you have not seen the new series episode, "Dalek". For it is demonstrated a Dalek plunger CAN control a keyboard (well, a keypad in this case). Once free of its chains, the Dalek is seemingly locked within its vault. the "tank" trundles towards an access keypad and presses its plunger over the entry coder. We see littel "divets" randomly appear over the back surface of the elastic material. It is, in fact, pressing the keys to unlock the door! It also demonstrates its usefulness as a power conduit (in order to recharge itself) and it functiones as a data port because it accesses the internet and downloads everything it can. Don't be fooled! That "bathroom helper" is far more formidable than people assume! Sincerely, Bill
