- I think the opposite is more true now. If my washing machine or dish washer breaks, I'm getting someone to take it apart and fix it; if my DVD player breaks, it's going in the trash. Does anyone object to totally rewriting this section? ike9898 23:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where in the English speaking world is this word used?

[edit] "white" and "brown"?
Is it among professional economists that the terms "white goods" and "brown goods" are used? I've never heard of them before. Wikipedia is not the place to introduce neologisms. If there is some particular community, such as economists or department store sales personnel or the like that uses these terms, the article should say so. Michael Hardy 17:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
