I daresay the manufacturer would not agree...
Fisher & Paykel
Their revolutionary Smartdrive top loading washing machine was created in 1990.
The company had a manufacturing base in Australia for almost 20 years and nearly 70 years in New Zealand, but stated it can no longer compete with low cost labour countries and had to close them. In 2012, Haier, a major Chinese appliance manufacturer, purchased over 90% of Fisher & Paykel Appliance shares.

Steve is one of three technicians who work out of a small booth in a shopping center in Millbrae California who fix computers for very nominal fees. I stopped by for a visit and, as we were talking, Steve told me about the new device he got for his wheelchair that made wheeling much easier. After he attached the power drive wheels to his wheelchair, Steve turned his back to me so I could see and photograph the Smart Drive that has greatly improved his life. He said he can now motor his wheelchair around the shopping center or even the 10 or so blocks to his home without having to use his car. He was all smiles. I was thrilled to see him so happy. You can see a close up of the Smart Drive in the next slide in this photostream.
This is a close up of Steve's Smart Drive that he attached to his wheelchair to demonstrate for me. Steve can send commands to the Smart Drive via a Bluetooth mobile device worn on a wrist. The power drive can attain a speed of five miles per hour or so.
inside this 'Smart Drive' box is my old PC hard drive, it is 80Gb SATA 7200 RPM. Paid $35 for the enclosure, so now it's a portable USB storage device. :)
Interesting to note MAC OS X can read NTFS partitions (but not write to them) however there is a third party driver out there that allows read and write access.
I use this USB HD to backup my Mac using Carbon Copy Cloner (Free program!)
the backups are bootable! and yes the Mac mini can boot from a USB HD.
Drove about 3 hours (including pit stops) to attend a wedding in Jeonju for the cousin's wedding on my wife's side.
Normally I'm very private about my family but this being a joyous occasion, I've decided to make the wedding pics public.
The wedding took place at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Took this from a pit stop for a rest break. At first when I saw "Smart Driving" I was thinking of one of those "Green Cars". "Smart Driving" is a program for reducing drunk driving in Korea.

drive enclosures: nexus drive-a-way (top two) and the smart drive 2002 copper (bottom four). the large thumb-screws on the front of the nexus enclosure -- and lack of mounting options -- necessitate the premanent removal of the front of the computer case.

important size difference between the nexus drive-a-way (top) and the smart drive 2002 copper (bottom). to my ear, the enclosures have similar noise-reduction abilities, but the smart-drive copper enclosures keep each drive cooler, leave more space in the case, and are mechanically simpler.

Cool little device. If it senses any sharp movements, like a bump or heavy braking, it stores the past 15 seconds & the following 15 seconds. It has a camera facing the driver & one facing through the windscreen. Great if you have an accident that isn't your fault. Not so great if it's your fault.
