Excelerators and Airblades (Hand Dryers)

Ladies, have you experienced the fantastic jet engined hand dryers that are starting to appear in ladies rest rooms?
My first experience with one of these fantastic machines was at Williamstown airport in Newcastle. I was flabbergasted and delighted at the same time that my hands could go from sopping wet to dry in only 10 seconds!
How tired I am of leaving restrooms with wet hands as a result of there being multiple toilets and hand basins, but only one or two hand dryers to service a room full of ladies with wet hands, dryers that frankly are so ineffective to be absolutely useless!
I wonder who designs these facilities? After encouraging hand washing as the most simple effective means of infection control, the wimpy dryers that oh so gently blow warm air, taking a minute to dry properly, nullify the benefit of the wash and frustrate the patrons, who are ofter observed wiping their wet hands on a tissue, or the back of their jeans!
Speak up ladies, in support of these fabulous machines that, whilst repositioning the flesh on your hands, dry them so effectively!
Hooray for such fantastic machines.
