Nice to see that you andSeconds are alive and kickin'. It's been a good day and you both made it better. Good info, too. Thanx So, the only question this AM is how much NUAN to buy. I loaded up a few minutes ago. And will buy more if it drops more. But...it is so tempting. Wait. Isn't that how I ended up with all these shares of GMGC. Have a great weekend. OT-EA, I got 7 hours on the engine at the last race weekend. It was STRONG. The season looks good. OT-both. I have a bunch of Mardi Gras beads that I brought back from New Orleans.

Courtesy of a good friend of mine at Visteon... GM launches hands-free phone service - OnStar talk-activated calls start this week in southeast Michigan Detroit News Mar-20-2001 author: Joe Miller DETROIT -- Don't be alarmed if you start to see more motorists talking to themselves while cruising Metro Detroit roads and highways beginning this week. If they're behind the wheel of a new General Motors Corp. car or truck, chances are they are using OnStar personal calling -- a new voice-activated, hands-free cell phone. GM is rolling out the hands-free cell phone service with its OnStar package in Southeast Michigan starting this week. It's available in more than 30 of GM's 2002 and 2001 cars and trucks offered by Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, GMC and Saab. It will be available nationwide by the end of April. By adding more features, GM hopes to build OnStar -- the electronic satellite-based communication system first introduced in 1996 in Cadillacs -- into a high-volume profit generator with a large subscription base. Subscribers also can use a cell-phone to access OnStar's virtual adviser, a new feature where subscribers use voice commands for Internet access, including e-mail, news, stock prices, sports scores and weather reports. GM expects annual revenues from OnStar to increase to $4 billion by 2005, up from an estimated $750 million in 2001, Ronald Zarrella, president of GM North America, disclosed last month. Eventually, OnStar will provide GM with $1 billion in net income a year, Zarrella said. Last year, GM installed OnStar in 1 million vehicles and plans to equip 4 million vehicles by the end of 2003. GM also has cut deals to put OnStar in some Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles and expects to announce deals with at least two more automakers by year's end. Other automakers also hope to capitalize on growing demand for in-vehicle communications systems. Next year, Ford Motor Co. plans to launch Wingcast, a similar communications system being developed with Qualcomm Inc. Up until now, OnStar has been primarily a safety and security service that put a driver in contact with an operator at the push of a button. With personal calling, OnStar subscribers can make phone calls on the road using pre-paid minutes.
