The stone age public restroom hand dryers

Pppppppppwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhpppppppppppffffffffffffffpppppppp!!!!!  And then your hands are dry as a bone.  Sound familiar?  You're in a public restroom, do your deed, and wash up.  Then you stick your hands underneath a cool white contraption, and voila!  Your hands are dry. 

I remember way back in elementary school, after washing up- there were paper towel dispensers where you had to spin a little metal handle to get the paper coming out.  Then you have to manually dry your hands with the paper towel.  Man.  Tedious work.

Then came along the automatic forced air hand dryers where you just press the lever and stick your hands under, while rubbing them together.  Coolest things ever at the time.

Today, we have the Xlerator hand dryers that give your hands a tornado blast of air and they are almost instantly dry.  I'll have to admit that these have spoiled me.  Anytime I have to wash my hands in a public restroom and there are stone age hand dryers, I'm always a bit sad.
