 nb>Well, I have not run into that, since the washer is a top loader.

I know all about computers in laundry rooms too. I have had to park a few
computers of the wheeled variety there, because I can't get those up the
stairs. My washing machine is a toploader too, and it is now next to a 
PDP-8/e. Very easy to tell the difference tho. On the other hand, I have a 
giant Masscomp mini that everyone mistakes for the central heating boiler, 
until I point out the little floppy drive in the front ;-)

For those who got worried now, when I do the laundry, I wheel the 8/e out
of the room into the corridor. I'm thin enough to just get past it when it
is there, and I wouldn't want to get too much water vapour in it :)
