You mean everybody doesn't have a network connection and a computer in their garage? Working on a phone and cable connection for the TV as well

See if all else fails on this worthless thread we can still show our beloved other halves that we are not the only ones on this earth that spend so much time in the garage that we NEED to have a phone jack, cable tv and a nice big recliner chair for sitting back and admiring the work we we just did...I didn't say work completed because we all know that there is always SOMETHING else we could detail

LOL, I I have a wireless access point in the garage, I take my laptop out there all the time. It's nice and calm out there. And if I'm in the middle of a job and have a problem, I can take a pic, put the CF card into the reader, and post the pic with a question, and get an answer in 10 minutes or so.

Well I do have a deckchair in my garage and a GF who brings me cold Millers (or breakfast if it's an early start). Plans for 04 include clearing out all of the house move junk, painting the walls & floor and getting some electrics in there.

Don't know much about corporate intimidation although I'm not naive enough to think it doesn't happen anywhere (I do work for a US owned co with more than 50,000 employees worldwide!)BUT what I DO know is that since using Meguiars and other products and talking to all you good guys (& gals) here at Autopia I've realised that what I thought I knew was all mostly wrong and that I've a long journey ahead!!
