Hehe I'm glad someone else notices that besides me. It's right up there with "ATM Machine", "PIN Number", etc.

How do these things work? I'd imagine they must use a massive amount of energy while they're running--think of how long it takes to heat a pot of water on a red-hot stove burner, and a tankless heater would have to do that almost instantly for as long as the water is flowing. I guess it would be a little better overall though, since a regular heater still has to keep the tank hot regardless of whether you're using any hot water or not.
