    It means the second last 5 minutes of your commute is down hill.

    If it were only so, I live in South Florida, the only "hills" here are those residents that are "over the hill"

    The highest elevations I found in South Florida were the pitcher's mounds on baseball fields.

    Where's the thumb? :D
    Actually, for a couple years now, there have been a couple PC members that have been using that scenerio as their avatar. It does (the finger scenerio) happen to folks now & then, that power/mpg works out that way.

    I think it was meant for the big SUV driver who was tailgating you while checking out the MFD... :D

    VERY nice MFD screen!!!

    Hello Doc Willie....

    First I admire your taste in Shuttlecraft, and if my shuttle were not red I would also like the stripes!!!

    But what really piques my interest is how did you manage to reprogram the MFD screen????

    I have been wishing I could convert the entire system to display as "Okudagrams". I am sure you know what that is, but if not, the engineering displays on Starfleet craft. LCARS would be main access, "Library Control Access Retrieval System" All the screens could be converted, but the trick is in the access to the software for a little Starfleet influence. You seem to know the way! It would be quite the trick to come up with that one!!!

    Any thoughts, lets hear them.

    The Shuttlecraft Ops screen is made by creating a CD-R with MP3 files of the various sounds. When you access the file list on the Audio Screen, the functions show up.

    It means you need to try harder. The Prius gets pissed when you can't manage over 50 mpg, particularly at those kinds of temps and on flat terrain ;)

    Just kidding BTW, in case there was any doubt :rolleyes:
