But don't say Bogus tecnology...untill you have seen it for yourself.

Is it not enough that we take the word of the restaurants who said "no" to it in droves?

For that matter, the Maytag relationship is over fifteen months old now and nothing has come of it. The current contract runs out in March. Maytag can basically shut TRBO down at that time simply by not renewing. Don't forget that.

PMFJI, but I have actually SEEN the oven!

(pause while applause dies down)

I was killing time at the (horrible) St Maartin airport. I wanted to drink some more beer, but the closest thing there was Carib, so I went over to this teeny-tiny little snack stand they have in the boiling hot open-air interior of the airport, and ordered a couple of Caribs. When lo-and-behold, what did I see behind the counter, propped up on some boards and sitting awkwardly at an approximately 15 degree angle, but a TurboChef oven!!!! Large as life!!! I hung around for a while hoping to see it in action... I guess they use it to heat up hot-dogs and nachos, but unfortunately they never used it in the three hours we had to wait for our plane to St Barth's.

So there you have it, folks; there is at least one TurboChef oven, on location in the Carribean!!

FWIW,
