After 1-1-08 AFCIs must be of a new type that detects "series" arcs in
addition to "parallel" arcs that are now detected. In its omniscient
wisdom, and in an example of exquisite timing, the code requires that
these new AFCIs, last I heard nonexistent, be installed 'everywhere'. Do
you suppose the prices will go down soon?


I don't know anything about this, but if no one sells them, the prices
should go up.

A customer is in a grocery when a guy comes in and asks how much the
tomatoes are.

The owner says 3 dollars a pound.

The guy says, The store down the street charges 2 dollars a pound.

So buy them there, the grocer says.

He's out of tomatoes, the guy says.

Well, the grocer says, when I'm out of them, I charge a dollar a
pound.
