Dusty Chalk Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Are these your first front-loaders, Mike? We just got a front-loader in the house where I live -- they take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, the way they use less soap, clean better, and use less water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 When I first came to the US, I was surprised at the dominance of Top Loaders, which, from a European perspective, I considered to be obsolete technology, along with bleach - which is something your mother used, before the advent of enzymes or "biological" washing powders. [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry_detergent]Laundry detergent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] It is only recently that that high-tech European Style newfangled front loaders seem to have caught on over here.

DigiPete Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 That APC deal looks good, but isn't that precisely the kind of thing you want to avoid as a refurb? Correction, not a refurb, a closeout (new, as far as I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Grahame, Interestingly, when I first went to Europe, I was surprised by the fact that washing machines seemed to be designed to fit under the u-bend in a kitchen sink drain.

Unfortunately time will not permit me to be the one making use of this wood. But pics will certainly be posted when I've got the cabinets and started assembly.

postjack Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 MSI Wind U120 nice. i was thinking of picking up a dell mini 9, but let me know how you like the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If you want a Dell, buy a Mini 12. According to the specs it is much more usable and also has a new hardware. I suppose it will worth the extra cash. The MSI Wind U120 is probably the best at this moment, but the U115 is coming and that will have a newer, more advanced hardware like the Mini 12, but with hybrid storage (faster and more efficient) so I think worth waiting for it. We had to buy one laptop before the end of the year so it was a fairly easy decision. The U120 is almost the same as the U100 but looks less cutsy The keyboard and screen is really good, the touchpad less so. The thing that it is built for a price does show in a few places. The noise levels are kept low. Overall I think it's good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Seems to me that a 12" netbook stops being an ultraportable, tho. From my perspective, the 8" form factor is almost perfect. By the time you're at 12", either get an old powerbook, or go to a 13" macbook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
