Greetings all,

It was announced that a new company, TMIO I believe, will be taking over
an abandoned manufacturing site here in Chattanooga to build "smart" ovens.
They are supposed to be similar to the "smart" refrigerators mentioned
above. Price tag, about $3,500. YIKES! Guess I'll stick with my old Magic
Chef for a while.

Regards,
Jim C Roberts

And I can hardly wait until you get the "liver and onions" virus (for
people who don't like liver and onions - the virus will examine your
eating records before deciding how to infect your fridge - your fridge
electronically orders 100's of lbs of food you never eat from the store
for you, and defrosts 5 lbs of it every night, no matter what you tell
it to defrost), or the "vacation virus" (your fridge defrosts everything
and it all rots throughout your vacation).

Having seen the digital toster first as a joke, and then as a reality
that lived up to most of the problems in the joke, I'm not going for
anything excessively "smart" in my house. I prefer a dumb house that
can't get screwed up, with dumb appliances.
