The weak point will be software. This is why Tesla was built in Silicon Valley. The software to control each subsystem will be complex enough, but the interaction between subsystems will make it very complex." *** *** *** Very good point. Any wonder why Zielinski was replaced by Farah as chief engineer? Farah was responsible for system integration and controls for the EV-1. No small task, but Farah and his team are up to it. This is another reason why these silly arguments stating that if GM went w/ NiMh the Volt could be out this fall are baseless. Dave G # 55

It works great and is better than Internet Explorer, IMO. I use it on about 6 computers. I also use Internet Explorer occasionally. Firefox underlines a misspelled word. If you right click on the word, it gives possible spellings with the top choice usually the one you need. Of course, if you misspell it really bad, it may not know what word you need. It works great if you get even close in spelling. I use it all the time on this site. Even then I may miss the fact that Firefox has pointed out a misspelled word. It is free to download and use. Google "Firefox". #65 Len
