PRODUCTS OF FUE (tm) by Filbert Firx
In its prime FIRX Enterprises produced a number of items, both
for resale and internal use. The major product line was home furnishings,
but most of these are no longer in existence, or even remembered. The
traveler of FUE will encounter a few of the items made for use by employees
of FIRX Enterprises, still for sale by vendors. Some are described below.
As FUE expanded, it became harder and harder for the various workers
to move around in the course of their duties. As a solution, Felix Firx the
First provided, for a nominal charge, the MasterMap, an automatic mapping
device. This proved to be inadequate, so the Visiloc was created, which
located one's position, and various items of interest nearby. These devices
worked well, but as FUE grew in complexity a device designed to remove
partitions between workplaces and offices was needed, so WallBang was
introduced and became an instant success. Eventually, even these three
miracles of MagiFax ( see `Questor's Bible') were not enough, and the
Squink, the penultimate apex of FIRX genius, was born.
Towards the end of FUE's decline, beebles and other vermin became a
serious problem. The BeebZap provided relief in this regard and was widely
hailed as the saviour of FUE, which of course it turned out not to be.
There were just too many beebles.
Several other products were developed, such as the Nebulator,
perhaps apocryphal, and designer wallpaper in many delightful colors.
