Those days seem to be in the rear-view mirror of technology. Japanese giants Nippon Telegraph and Telephone and Honda have reached an accord (get it?) to make driving while e-mailing more "hands off" and less, well, dangerous. The two companies have developed a car navigation system that lets you fire off an e-mail from your car -- no need to take your hands off the wheel. You can also listen to your e-mail thanks to the system's "voice," which can also tell you how traffic is looking along your route. >> CLICK: http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1571131l.htm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sponsored by NetIQ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FREE Active Directory Audiocast from NetIQ.
