Dividing the cost of the machine by the number of liters produced over its service life yields a surprisingly small figure. And water is usually pretty cheap, even these days. The price of electricity has gone up since I tried to estimate how much each liter cost, but it was around thirteen cents. It would be more now, of course. Even if it cost a bit more than at the store, I'd still prefer my own machine because I hate carrying heavy jugs and then disposing of empty jugs ... regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. voice: 416-686-0326 email: portrait@xxxxxxxxxxxx net: www.heylloyd.com ________________________________ -- ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
