1.  I bought a new small air compressor (Husky brand) from Home Depot 
for my home use.  I just need something for light duty, and this was 
technically a Christmas present from my wife.  I don't know which type 
of air connector it needs.  It comes with a female fitting and from the 
appearance it must need a short male fitting, contrary to my experience 
in my father's shop where he had all long fittings.

2.  For light duty home use, does it matter which type of hose I use?  I 
see hoses for sale made from PVC, rubber, and polyurethane.  I gather 
that PVC is stiffer, or maybe just stiffer in cold weather.  I'm on a 
tight budget so I don't want to buy more than I really need.
