   What heats a person in a garage better?   
    $100 Costco Parabolic heater   
    $100 Costco Ceramic Space heater   
      
   An old friend of mine is cleaning up his tools and he has the cars out of   
   the garage which is very airy (because it's a garage) and hence very cold.   
      
   He wants heat.   
   I want to give him a gift.   
      
   Which heat is better?   
    Parabolic   
    Ceramic (resistance, with fan)   
      
   One "throws" the heat, as I understand it.   
   The other "fans" the heat, as I understand it.   
      
   I'm worried that he's so old he'll hurt himself on the "hot" to the touch   
   parabolic - but on the other hand I'm worried the ceramic "fan" heater   
   won't throw enough heat to matter (since a garage is airy by design).   
      
   Any suggestions?
