Ceramic Tile Removal

My next project to be completed is the countertop replacement, and putting in a backsplash. No probs there. But after that, I will be removing about 200 sq ft of ceramic tile in an entryway as well as a small bathroom. The stuff is just hidous! LOL It gets the slightest bit wet (oh like it never rains in San Antonio? LOL) and you slip and land on your butt. LOL It is on the bottom level, and is laying on cement slab. Any suggestions on how to get this stuff up?? I was thinking about renting a piece of equipment with an air compressor. (I can't remember the name of it specifically) but it looks like a hand held scraper (with about a 4 foot handle)attached to an air compressort. I don't think the actual tile will be the problem...it is the mortar, I am sure that will give me grief. Anybody done this before? Thanks for any assistance. Jen in Texas
