School Zone Santa .Com

In March there was a report in the Daily Telegraph about problems with the roll out of 1000 super dooper new parking meters
A lot of these independant (solar powered)units weren't "switched on" but "didn't have power problems"the reporter was told.
A new story this morning newspaper article

The RTA is trialing solar powered school zone flashing lights.

I wrote about this in my "solar power for school zone" category
The old saying "keep things simple stupid" makes sense.

I wiped off my work van's drivers side rear vision mirror (which I adjusted once when I bought the vehicle last Oct.)
THe cost $174 part price only as I installed it.

Give me a mirror that I can adjust with my hand thank you,
and don't get me started on painted color coded bumper bars on cars.
Did I say bumpers ,more like plastic covered meccano.

Designers are getting too clever.

The control panel on new washing machines look like something thats found in fighter planes.

Water and water vapor and electronics don't mix and where's the wettest area in the house apart of the bathroom?

Water vapour getting into electronic circuit boards in over enginered washing machines is a very expensive problem for someone who just wants clean clothes.
Have you noticed that washing machines in council clean-ups are getting younger and younger?

And the RTA is looking at solar powered "Flashing Lights"

NSW doesn't need "Mellenium train/Collin's class" solar powered flashing lights.

A report I heard last week was that a collins class submarine "nearly sunk" off Western Australia and they have "teething problems"
