Bill, I couldn't help but think after the volcano eruption and the halting of flights over most of Europe and the Atlantic because of microscopic debris suspended in the air that an event like this is good at reflecting the suns rays and thus reducing the amount of heat that is absorbed by the...

Larry H stated, I know I'm splitting hairs here and I'm sure most if not all people don't care, but.... I work for an embedded operating system software company and this doesn't sound like a operating system defect, but an application (sits on top of the OS) feature gone awry. I'm done.

Whoa! I heard it was Ranger 21 with a 6 foot swim platform. Crazy, the rumors going around.

I have twin Mercury Verados on my boat. They are completely fly by wire. There is no cable connecting the throttle control to the transmission, everything is done electrically. There is no "clunk" into gear that I had with the old cable system. I'm laying odds that these newer cars operate...

In one of the other threads, I believe someone explained the issue... These cars don't just have fly by wire accelerators, they are completely fly by wire, including the transmissions and ignitions. I thought the same thing as Mark, just put it into neutral and slam on the brakes, which is...

Warren, My most sincere and deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. Moms are very special people. "Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow."

George, "Island time"....that's what I need. :D In my job I deal with people around the world each day, which results in no down time! Thanks for the reminder to chill. I'll practice patience. See you in August. I'm excited! :disgust
