Dishwashers are great. One of the only things I remember about Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time is the scene where -- in the utopian future -- a character explains that they don't use machines to cook for them, because cooking is a creative, social activity, but they use automatic dishwashers, because nobody likes washing dishes.

As Jane Austen would say in the margins: So true!

Oooh--dishwasher!
Forget iPods or updated cell phones and PDAs. I decided just a few weeks ago that a dishwasher is next on my list of gadgets to acquire.
