I never thought of it as a "luxery". I mean, even the poorest houses I've seen, paint all peeling off and windows "repaired" with trashbags, have air conditioning. I guess we are just lucky or something... Hey lemme ask you this. Do you have "electricity"? It's all the rage here!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
