LaundryView from Mac-Gray Corporation ‘enables students to monitor the status of the washers and dryers in their campus laundry rooms from any device that has a web browser…Each machine reports its status to LaundryView(TM) several times every minute and, from their computers, students can see if the laundry room is busy, and can ask to be notified when machines become available. Once a student has started a machine, they can ask LaundryView(TM) to remind them when the machine completes its cycle.’

Well I suppose that it beats watching coffee pots.
