the problem seems to be the detergent suds. in new york city, people
pay over a million dollars for a coop or condo apartment which won't
let them have a washer. dryers ore ok but you either need 220 volt
current or a gas hookup.
the problem here is the drain pipes which are too small to handle the

The top reasons are conveniences and low overhead cost. If PayPal was as
bad as some claim, it would be out of business, as would eBay. The
reality is, they both prosper because they provide services that people
want and they do it reasonably well.

Sellers use Paypal for business transactions to avoid having to pay charges
and fees to banks for accounts that allow acceptance of credit cards. These
fees typically run 2-4 % of the total transaction (including taxes, and
shipping). That is why some gas stations charge more for credit than cash

I use Roboform to enter it for me, but prefer the convenience of not having to bother.
Thats going a bit far given google and wikipedia etc.
Dunno, its arguable that ebay had done that.

I find it VERY convenient. Of real convenience when buying is that it
provides your address without needing any further input, so cuts out
the risk of typing some crook information.
Paypal may well be the single best thing that has happened to the
internet, it has provided the spark that may kick online trading to a

No. I've never felt it was unreliable, and this calculation does not
change that.

clothes washers and dryers for older units with "weak" plumbing?

2008-07-25T03:43:07Z

I live in a relatively old condo complex, built in the 1960’s or
1970’s, and not the fanciest place around. One issue is that we can’t
have clothes washers or dryers in the units because (we are told) the
plumbing can’t handle it (and maybe the ventilation system, I'm not
sure if that's an issue too). I don’t know the technical details of

Okay, got a chance to check it out, and confirmed my gut feeling.
First of all, I agree with your calculation of 41.53 as the

As I mentioned before, you need to recognize that the $1s are put in

Reserving judgement on that one. Still looks suspicious to me, but I
haven't checked it out.

Yep. My mistake again. Still, the first set of numbers did use a fixed
$1/year, and that showed a 3% gain over inflation. Any quibbles with
that?

Oh and for those of you that though I was 'confused' on my last rant about
