	Alberto,

	If you read the second line very carefully, you will find the word
"majority".  If you don't fall into this category, then you are probably
a fine driver.  Possibly a great driver.  Better than Michael Schumaker.
Do _you_ feel better now ??   :)

	No offense was meant, but the constant "It's OK because technology
will save my ass" attitude really annoys me.  If you think it is a great
idea and like it, by all means use it.  And it hope it always works for
you.

Peace,
Jeff
