Had a new and exciting experience Monday morning. Chris and piled into NCAR1, the Chevy Silverado 2500 that I've been working out of during V2 to start our trek north to Nebraska on what was supposed to be a simple travel day. I turned the key, and after some hesitation the engine turned over, at which point the truck started idling in a manner than can best be described by violet shaking. We coaxed it around the hotel parking lot to the other sounding trucks and determined we better get it to a Chevy dealer ASAP. Our concern deepened as we got on the road and determined our max speed was 20 mph. Luckily the Hays Chevy dealer was only about 2 blocks away, and the guys there managed to get it in and start looking at it pretty quickly.
After running some tests and checking a few things the mechanic did something that I and probably every other PC user out there does quite frequently. He reset the truck's computer (I still have visions of some secret ctl-alt-delete keys somewhere under the hood), and poof problem fixed! So we still don't know what was wrong, just that it was apparently a computer issue. Yay for technology! Anyway, truck is still going strong several hundred miles later, and hopefully it will stay that way!

You wouldn't have these sorts of problems if you had gone with a Mac!!! You can consture Mac to be the computer or the truck,, either one works.
