Default Message from your washing machine

I saw a short article about "smart washers" being developed/tested. Wouldn't that be nice that if a wife could get info regarding her washing while watching her soaps. Would that get points on the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) meter?

So it is. Thanks j1nx for pointing out that article.

Now we wait for the kitchen and laundry appliances to come out (maybe a couple of years) and then it can be coded into MP also!
