When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Wilson Motors called me this morning to say my new navigation cd had arrived, so I went down at lunchtime to pick it up. I found out that they way they'd made the copy that worked, was to put *my* original cd in a computer and burn a copy. I thought they'd copied another one, but the computer was able to read mine just fine. Weird, but not uncommon. They use use better error correction algorithms in computer drivers than they do in conumer electronics for some reason. Maybe CPU horsepower?
The Escape is also missing the combo door lock on the driver door that I really liked having on the Explorer. They advertise an aftermarket job that clones your keyless remote, so I looked into getting one of those. $150! Yowza! At that price, someone can get me one for Christmas ;-) And hopefully a lot more reasonably priced...but also hopefully actually secure...
