    FYI,

    Just got a sweet deal on a 5600 BTU (good for avg. to small rooms) digital air conditioner.

    On sale at Sears for $150!

    It's got a timer and you just punch in the temp you want. Even has a remote control. 8)

    I'm psyched!

    :)

    Yeah. It wasn't hard. It's light.

    Here's my problem:

    When not in use, room stays hotter now that I can't open the window. Fan only mode on A/C are not that great in general. This one is no exception.

    Also, playing with the timer, I realized a dilemma.

    When I leave for work, do I close the door for the A/C?
    If I do, then the small room doesn't get any air and the halide heats it up faster.

    Glad I have it, just have to figure this stuff out!
