So it affects the Navigation system. I can imagine the hijinks that this can produce.

"Ok, honey, the computer says to turn left here and go for three miles."

Well, at least Windows is getting bashed more and more. I like it. Maybe some day Linux will be the OS of choice and more programs will be compatible with it! Ahh, what a pipe dream that is...  :P
