the mundane essentials

I considered buying a new window air conditioner this weekend. We had a minor heat wave in the Boston area, and although it wasn't hot enough to justify A/C, I like to think that I know how to plan ahead.  I wonder how many window air conditioners have been sold in the world? Architects, as a rule, hate them, but in tropical climates I can imagine that they could be the difference between life and death. Of course, you need an electrical infrastructure to support it, and stores to buy it at, and landfills to dump the junk, etc...
