The LAUNDR-O-MAT Reloaded

[prog]

Using my keen journalistic powers of observation, I noticed that several of the dryers' digital displays read "20", and others read "00". Further, I noticed that the "20" ones all had blinking LEDs underneath their START buttons, and the "00" ones did not. Thus, I conclude that, due to confusion on the part of the laundromat's patrons or operators, many of the dryers not in use thought that they had received payment and were waiting for someone to put them into action; and furthermore, the dryer I chose happened to be in such a state, and thus signaled its rejection of my attempt to pay it further with its "BUSY" message, though it happily dried my clothes to fulfill an obligation that started before I even entered the building.

I will experiment further with this when next I wash things.

Thus ends Book One of the Horrid Laundry Saga.

No, rikchik, I can't see the jmac.org WAP (or any other one) from the O-MAT. Thanks for encouraging me to try, though.
