Ear ere! I use QuickCar to customize all the cars I ever drive. I prefer to spend a little effort *once* rather than accept the universally- agreed-and-detested "standard" enforced by the Automobile Nazis. Imagine having all cars operate the same way, right off the lot? What would be the point of having different models for sale if they are all the same anyway? I want to engineer my own car when I sit in it for the first time. This notion that streering wheels or--God forbid--brakes have to be the same from car to car is something only fascists and other reactionaries could want. (Sorry, I couldn't resist... Yes, the saying is "Hear Hear!", and one more thing, I *do* use QuickKeys and I like it.) -- Kent Borg "This and being born are the 2 damndest kent@lloyd.uucp things that ever happened to me." or -Resident of McClellenville, SC, ...!husc6!lloyd!kent referring to Hurricane Hugo (from NPR)
