I've been reading the comments for the last couple of days and IF this is something you'd like to pursue and it would make you happy, even if it's purely from a creative perspective, I say go for it. Life is WAY to short to worry about what others think. Ya know the old saying, opinions are like......................... well you get my point!

I disagree. While this one may not be appealing to many, I've read some that were far more dumb.

LOL. So you acknowledge it as a dumb post... just not as dumb. cough cough.

Well... my whole point with this is that I have seen many coolers that don't really do a good job of cooling drinks. Coolers are different from refrigerators that actually use condensers and cooling tubes. The A8 refrigerator looks like it actually uses mini refrigerator components unlike a inefficient cooler. Completely different operating components.

So I figured I'd ask the question. I guess my college professors were wrong. Maybe there is such a think as a dumb question. DOH!

Dumb is in the eye of the beholder (or something like that...).

Roger that....

I will take that message back to my Phd professors. Although I'm pretty sure they will curse me out and tell me to stop wasting their time and just apply for a job at Wikipedia.

To quote another forum member's very insightful advice.....
"I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake".

Due diligence is key. But to each their own.
