191712 -    3.  Thanks for your letter today (shown below), confirming telecon
191713 -        with Rod this morning.  LG offers a promotional no-cost
191714 -        exchange and for the purpose of "field testing" a product

191718 -         ..
191719 -    4.  My only concern is about losing capability.  Every time
191720 -        Microsoft upgrades their stuff, they take away 3 or 4 things I
191721 -        need, and add a few new things that don't work.  Since I
191722 -        luuuuuvvve my LG washer dryer, could you please submit the
191723 -        product spec and feature set for the new system you want to
191724 -        install, and further point out how this compares with my
191725 -        current LG Washer/Dryer, also listed on 090706. ref SDS 3 L65F

191732 -    5.  As you can see, my experience using the LG washer dryer has
191733 -        been outstanding.  If I can report satisfaction for the new
191734 -        washer dryer you propose to install that is similar to the
191735 -        system I now have, I will be a very happy customer. ref SDS 5
191736 -        XL6I
191738 -         ..
191739 -    6.  Finally, please confirm as well my warranty on the new system
191740 -        will be for the same 4 year period purchased for the current
191741 -        washer dryer. ref SDS 3 6H9I
