No problem. I just think that it is too bad that Ford can get away with
producing huge amounts of RF and no one cares. If my computer put out
that much noise, the FCC would be all over Compaq. My radio is not
allowed to put out that kind of noise. My car can, though. It doesn't
seem right. Does it?
