Yup, that's the way to go. I wish I had the contacts to get those
older machines.

But, for instance, if you were a salesman for a company, your
boss could tell you to upgrade if he considered that your vehicle
was letting down the firm's image. Otherwise it certainly is your
business, not his.

 CA> I don't think people _mean_ to be rude they just don't think. 

Hey, I've done it myself. But I usually re-read all my outgoing
stuff before I post, and most times I'll tone down or even delete
a message that was written thoughtlessly or in anger.

I once rewrote a message three times, in reply to something that
got up my nose. After I toned it down and down, I thought What
the heck! and I decided not to bother. Sometimes some messages
are better ignored.
