I think we can look forward to wireless connectivity maturing into something more useful and less infuriating.<br /><br />Ironically, I used to rant about the unreliability of computers using a very similar argument. "What if my car was as flaky as my computer?

What other devices in my car would I accept with a 38 percent failure rate? The ignition switch? Headlamps? Heat?<br /><br />I'd be infuriated if my goddamned dome light only worked 62 percent of the time.Craig F.http://yankeedriver.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
