Did you see the other story there, One of the stories making
headlines today is a rumor published by the German magazine Focus
which states that Apple - purveyor of the iPod, Mac computer line,
soon-to-be iPhone, etc. - is developing a new navigation system which
will make its debut on Mercedes models starting in 2009.

The link is dead, though.

Finally got around to watching this.  I can't imagine why either the
owner of the site or Roger thinks this is unusual or worthy of
commentary.  In my experience this kind of thing happens _every_ time
you take a car to a dealer service department for two reasons:
incompetent techs and the system that prevents you from talking to
them directly, but to a so-called service representative or service
writer who runs interference for them.  Unfortunately some
independent shops are now following this model, as well (and at least
one has lost my patronage because of it).

My indy is a one man shop.  Well his wife works there too, doing the
books I think.  I like it because whenever I call or stop by there I
talk directly to him.

In case anyone is interested:

Unfortunately whoever designed his web site did some goofy flash thing
that only works in IE (at least for me -- oh no wait a minute it also
works in Safari for Windows) But not *quite right* in Firefox.  Or
maybe I don't have the right FireFox plugin.  Anyway.  His actual
shop is much more down to earth.
