Guess what I just had to re-boot...

AFAIK the very first tube-operated computers came with a little hammer. It was used to "repair" socket contact issues or occasionally dislodge junk inside tubes if a bit got "stuck".

milk spoils quicker too, so even THOSE bastards are cutting

I live next door to a family owned dairy that processes it own milk. I know for a fact that their milk will last three weeks. Your milk is probably shipped across country and is three weeks old before you receive it!

The Holsteins make good neighbors too! John Ferrell W8CCW

We regularly get milk from the store that has dates two weeks out. It's easily good for a week after that, if kept refrigerated properly. Most don't keep their refrigerators cold enough and, worse, keep it on the refer door.

Quite a stink at times and a PITA when they decide to take the fence down and take up residence in my front yard, but otherwise good neighbors. Certainly better neighbors than the ankle biters next door here.

It's now DOA, so I followed your suggestion. I doubt that it will do any good. Appears that any link on their website having to do with warranty is DOA also :-( ...Jim Thompson

Dingledorf. There are very few states with dairy farms that ship milk hundreds of miles.

Our comes from a local dairy, and that is MORE proof that they are cutting corners.

Not that you would know a goddamned thing about it, regardless of your proximity to such a processing facility.

In other words, my guesses about what they are NOT doing are far better than your guesses about any part of the process.

How can AlwaysWrong *always* be so wrong?

You do not even know what you are jacking off at the mouth about, K-Tard. So f*ck off and die, as usual.

You could not find a store in SD cty that has their milk shipped in from hundreds of miles away, much less "from across the country".

Make sure your reply is even more retarded than your first stupid post here was. I am sure it will not pose a problem for you, K-Tard.

This guy? You have to write to the big boss at headquarters. If I am not mistaken it's ASKO AB in Sweden where he seems to be the CEO:

Email addresses are often closely guarded. One trick is that many people are members of a sport club or other club. And, tada, unless a guy with the exact same name works at this comany it looks like his email address is listed right here. 6th from top, with photo:

Appears that any link on their website having to do with

This one? Works here:

Thanks! Sent right off.

I can get you into the FBI ;-)

Not if you follow any further links. ...Jim Thompson

You are welcome. It might take a week but if you don't get any response (I always did) then it would really be time to ditch that brand and buy something else.

Would be nice but I guess I'm too old for that now. I am sometimes rather surprised about agencies when they say "Oh, we couldn't find any information about this or that" and then it takes me five minutes. (That was not the FBI)

Those also work here, like the link on that page "click here" for older units:

Or warranty status:

But it is a poorly done web site. Too much fluff, way too slow for this day and age.

Because I can't find anywhere in that hell-hole that had milk shipped a few hundred miles, *no* milk is ever shipped hundreds of miles? Typical AlwaysWrong Logic.

You continue to be a caricature of yourself, DimBulb.

K-Tard-W comes through, as predicted.

Reminds me of a story from years ago;

Why does the car not start?

Physicist: "Air is a poor conductor of electricity"

Engineer: "The battery lead is broken"

A more illuminating question would be, "Why does the car run?" ;)

Tell us again how a power meter really measures VA, AlwaysWrong.

Depends on the meter, asswipe troll.

As you are obviously clueless as to the drawbacks of the earlier designs, you will certainly not be able to grasp any discussion about current metering hardware.

The current meters do read inductive loading correctly. There is also a reduced number of capacitor banks on the grid as well.

Maybe one day, you will get it.

No, it doesn't, AlwaysWrong. Power meters read, TA-DA! Power.

No, AlwaysWrong, you're always wrong. No exceptions for after-Christmas sales (when you're IQ is marked down even lower).

They *always* did, AlwaysWrong. The basic design hasn't changed in a hundred years.

Maybe one day you'll get something right, but I doubt it.

Go back to mommy's hamper, DimBulb.

Mid-Westerner: It needs a good pull from the John Deere and it'll start.

Next one up: "Where do babies come from?" :-)

Good to know that not all engineers are atheists.
