  2. GE House on Disney Takes Another Stab at the House of the Future · · Score: 1


    I hope its not like the GE house they had/have in Pittsfield, MA. It was supposed to be some modern house, listening to you talk, automated curtains, etc, but really was a guy in a hidden closet listening, and throwing switches.

    Yup, we love the freecycle groups around here, too, got all sorts of neat stuff, and got rid of a bunch of stuff. But, the moderators of the groups are petty dictators, always ready to slam people for not formatting their posts right.
