Well, as one of the nicer off-topic threads on this list, might I mention that I always wanted to patent a thermostat that regulates heat index (or comfort index - a combination of temp and humidity) instead of temperature. And not just a humidistat - I don't want to dump water into the air if it is dry - I just want to turn down the AC when it is dry... Then again, I guess this post pretty-much obliterates my chance of getting a patent. Then again, maybe somebody already has one but isn't bothering to manufacture them - that would explain why I can't find one for sale anywhere. Instead I just have to set my temperature lower at night to compensate for increased humidity - which is really just a lousy hack. Where is the Honeywell bugzilla when you need it... :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGm9IxG4/rWKZmVWkRAmXiAJ9dSlKqiNnT+oe/CTlkpQfg8c4QBwCeJww5 OowzzLLzZXJ4q686Nu2JDns= =u+Mh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
