"Applause to mmwitzke..."

Yes, that's what I failed to mention in my original post. :)

Obama is a politician. Optimism without reality borders on fantasy.

Jacque Fresco offers me more hope for the future than either of them combined. --"It is not enough to criticize society without offering a workable alternative."

Can't we have something else besides an ipod? Im sure someone could agree on a portable music player hardware interface that would work for any player.

shapirodave: totosucks.com was apparently a short lived idea since the domain is dead now. (barely a year later)

I'm no toilet expert but it seems a simple case of fixing any of the problems I've seen listed above in 2 1/2 years. Flapper hole blew out? Drill a new one and connect the chain with a paper clip. Do you need someone to customerly service your hand for every product you're ever purchased? I hope not.

I just bought a new Aquia and it is obviously more technically evolved than most toilets I've dealt with, however I anticipate no immediate problems. I would expect it to be more evolved considering it has 2 flush modes.

I personally love the human driven extensions of our need for effieciency and convinence we call technology. Whether a bit of tech is abusrd and dissapears a year later or lasts for centuries like say, a pencil. I enjoy the persuit of making our lives easier and more comfortable through whatever devices.

For Toto's sake and the persuit of technology: Intelligence Toilet II. "The new “II” is equipped with all of the original health monitoring features (urine sugar analysis, blood pressure check, BMI and body weight measurement), plus an additional function designed to appeal to women: urine temperature measurement and analysis. "

It may be short lived and seemingly silly to most people (including me), but it's the thought that counts right? It could be the dumbest idea ever but at the same time it might have unthinkable consequences for human evolution ever thought of at its conception.

I also think it's obvious that it doesnt matter what country its made in either. Saying I need an american made CHAMPION 4 to me is like saying I need a Ford Dominator F650 to "get the job done".

I like my Toto Aquia and it's not even installed yet. If it malfunctions I'll be a resourceful human and figure out how to fix it.
