Hey! We're ALL Devo! (Are we not pins?) Sorry. You fed my inner geek. . .

Kenmore was always crap, in my mind. Every Kenmore I've every had has
fallen apart in short order, and I've never encountered anyone with a
different experience until now. I picked out a Magic Chef washer, 20
years ago, as the stopgap between poverty and my hoped-for Maytag. It
was made by Maytag and had the front access, etc. Darned thing messed me
up by running perfectly all this time--and shows no sign of slowing
down. Not even must rust, despite the FL humidity. I've had a hard-on
for the Neptune since it came out, and at this point wonder if I'll ever
bother--not like I'll need a set that lives 30 years longer than I will. . .

BTW--when I was at BB last weekend, the guy informed me they've stopped
carrying Maytag because of the latest brouhaha. Whether it has merit or
not, it seems to be affecting sales.
