Yes, but "That's not a bug, it's a feature." It makes the cars harder to steal. I don't mind the keys, but they are pricey to replace. And if it bugged me, I could always put the key in a conducting bag like the one that came with the car's toll paying tag. > destroy by washing machines and dryers.

I would not buy such a printer, and I think most people wouldn't. Don't worry about it too much, it's not a good business model. I know the printer manufacturers would love them, but it would definitely cripple their sales. ---David _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
