Rec.boats gets the version of me it deserves, though I admit it's difficult keeping up in nastiness with the right-wing snarkasses here. I think I have four or five right-wing snarkasses in my bozo bin, along with our terminally stupid Canadian "Scotty" friend, who may or may not be a right-winger, but definitely is a snarkass. Congratulations. I think you win the award for the most bragging about a filter. Thank you, I am sure. -- Sarah Palin is watching the Sochi Olympic Games from the front porch of her house. |

I prefer the separate garmin nav device, and I also have 3 nav apps on my iphone, including garmin usa. My iPhone also has 4000+ tunes on it, a tad more than you can squeeze onto six CDs.

I don't accept incoming calls when I am driving, unless it is my wife...and I don't listen to web casts. We don't drive long distances.

Productivity is definitely not their goal. In my years in the data processing business the most productive shops were always at least one release behind.
