Well, if things are this slow, I won't feel bad about asking a slightly
off-topic question. :) (and I liked Tim's answer, too.)
My house uses a rather small septic system, so I have never gotten a dishwasher
because of the load I expect it would put on the leach lines. Now my wife wants
us to enter the 20th century.
The question: do dishwashers actually use more water than hand washing the same
dishes?

I like Tim's answer better than mine. :-)

Beware the Jabberwock, my son, with jaws that bite and claws that snatch.
Beware the Jubjub tree, and shun the frumious bandersnatch.
