Hi Jerome, My wife drives a Tahoe with Onstar. Yesterday we got a mailer that said we can have 30 minutes of free calling thru Onstar. Jan(my wife) tried to call me today at work 3 or 4 of the numbers worked the rest were garbage - so at least in some cases (perhaps mobile) it has a way to go. That's good - hopefully it will require more chips.ggg Bob

Jerome, my comment about half of America not being able to read or write (well) had nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh. I owned a group of medical clinics for a number of years and I can tell you that it was a shock to see how many could not fill out the patient entrance form ("I forgot my glasses"). These are not brain-surgery questions...name, address, where does it hurt, how long has it been hurting, etc. Trust me when I tell you that more Americans than the official statistics show avoid computers because they don't have the language skills to use them.
