Oh, hell no, Jack - no smart washer for me! Why should laundry be that complicated? It's just the two of you. Maybe, if the washer belonged to a family of six with 4 kids involved in a variety of activities that keep mom and pop away from the house for hours on end, making the washing of laundry for those six people a MAJOR chore for which there is never enough time. Maybe, maybe then a smart washer/dryer would be understandable but for just two people, like Ben and me or you and Deb, no, no. But, if you two are having fun with it, enjoy!!

Now for a techie question for you, Jack? How the heck to you get motion pictures on Medium??
