On Friday, Massachusetts officers said that they will hold another round of appliance discounts this summer after would-be contestants smashed a computer server which depleted the program of all its money in two-and-a-half hours.

Environmental Affairs Secretary, Ian Bowles said on Friday that the state will also finance over 12,700 rebate reservations put on a waiting list after Thursday's first-come, first-served free-for-all condition.

Those on the waiting list will be informed by either e-mail or mail in around one week, elucidating how to get their rebate. The officials said that the time limits for buying appliances and providing documents have been extended by one week to help those buyers on the waiting list.

The rebates summed up to $250 for dishwashers, $200 for refrigerators, $175 for clothes washers, and $50 for freezers.

Thursday's rebate program, devised to motivate customers to exchange electrical devices for more niggardly ones, was financed with Federal stimulus Dollars.

Bowles said that the $5.5 million in rebates will help substitute around 26,556 dishwashers, refrigerators, clothes washers and freezers.

Funding for the summer rebate program will come from state funds together with the sale of carbon allowances under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and existing utility company funds for state energy efficiency programs.

Those offered rebates on Thursday and those put on the waiting list, should purchase their machines by May 12.
