So true. This week my wife hardly could get the doors unlocked of our =

Hello folks,
OMG. Isn't it amazing how current technology demands complications. =
Used to be you put in a key turned it and "broom broom". Now is having =
something in your pocket, and switching on and then pushing 'Start', =
But then everything these days is "marketing groomed". My new radio =
has oodles of "features" (most of which I do not understand) but a lousy =
weak station reception - my $40 portable radio is MUCH better IN the car =
that the $$$$$$ "car" radio !!!!!!

I have a neat little module that does as you describe except it has no =
