Ahh. The Microsoft way. I have driven a John Deere tractor with a completely computer-controlled and shifted transmission. Every once in a while the gear shift level would get out of sync with the transmission's current gear. Shifting to neutral would fix that. Sometimes, however, the computer would stop responding to the gear shift level and refuse to put the tractor into gear (never had the opposite problem, thank goodness). To fix that required turning the key off and back on, rebooting the control computers. I believe John Deere finally fixed that with a firmware update. Ahh what Microsoft has done to us. -- Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
