WOW! Someone close the coffee spigot, or there's going to be a meltdown <g>. I'm no engineer (or mathematician for that matter) but the following bolded claim seems prima facie false: MDE4000 - Maytag Neptune Electric Dryer Wrinkle Release, Air Fluff Cycle and Damp Dry Cycle, Infinite Temperature Settings, Ultra Care Temperature Option With Indicator Light, Adjustable Degree of Dryness Strange that there are infinite temp. settings but only 'adjustable' degrees of dryness. Unless Maytag is thinking in terms of fractions? E.g., Even giving them the benefit of the doubt that there is some range of Temp. settings (which rules out the temp. of the Sun), say, 0 (off) through 10. Thus a setting available between 4 and 5 would be 4 «. The setting representing « that is 2 ¬. Half that 1 1/8 , then .5625 ... even at only a 1000 iterations we're only at 4.6663^-301. Wouldn't one need an infinitely 'graduated' dial? I mean this dial is starting to appear HUGE, a la Alice in Wonderland-ish. RO
