Just wait ... ... until we all start getting brain tumors from all this cell phone use. See how fast copper lines come back into vogue.

Jeff ... "Reliability has been good enough that I very rarely have to contact customer service, but when I do, I have to go through endless phone trees like just about every other company." Two VERY good points here. 1. I've NEVER had to contact the telephone company for any service-related...

Not to mention ... ... being able to use the phones during a blackout, which is impossible with digital.

Won't work. I speak as someone with rotary dial phones. The only way they'll work is with the old-fashioned telephone company. What is it about Verizon you don't like? I've been using Verizon/Bell Atlantic/NYNEX/New York Telephone my whole life and I've never been happier.

LOVE!!! :)

Well ... ... it'll be $16,000 for me to buy and install my washer and dryer ...

Yeah THAT'S all we need ... ... is to make it easier for government to monitor our actions.

We were ... ... primarily Blue Birds.

So the video card on my big fancy iMac (2008, 24-inch) has apparently fried itself. BUT ... I'm learning that some people have had some success in either replacing the video card or fixing it (cleaning it) with a butane lighter. Anyone have any experience? For various reasons, I absolutely...

I've been happy ... ... with Eros.

Sterling rules ... There is absolutely nothing wrong with using sterling every day; it was actually the case in the upper classes centuries ago before the invention of stainless steel. And, of course, before the invention of dishwashers. As I've said before, I really do not understand...

I think ... ... much of the maintenance issues with refrigerators stem from the automatic ice makers -- something I've never been interested in because I don't like drinking water with fluoride in it (and none of the fridge filters are powerful enough to filter out the fluoride), so I just make...

French doors ... ... I think are the best compromise. I've always hated side-by-sides because the refrigerator section is so narrow. Sometimes I need to slide entire cookie sheets in the fridge when I'm baking. My Frigidaire is the traditional freezer on the top, but if I'd have had my...

Ours ... ... 1979 Caprice Classic station wagon. Two-tone burgundy with burgundy interior and luggage rack. Sharp-looking car it was!

Counter depth? Really? Those feel so limiting. I have a standard free-standing Frigidaire from 2006 that's running like it was still brand-new.

Agreed, Andrew ... "The point is, you simply can't get good results with the amount of water these machines use, regardless of how it operates. There's just not enough for it to flow through the clothes and suspend the dirt and soap. The lack of hot, or even decently warm water furthers the...
