Is it any different than those who watch DVD's or sports, or read the paper or talk on the phone, or even those who have the skills to hold up a conversation with coworkers while performing their job description?

Funny, I saw my truck in my driveway at 6:30am this morning.

Besides, if I'm surfing the net, it means my line is running making Ford money. When I am working, the line is down, and losing money.

Trust me, Ford would rather have me surfing on any day. B)

Sparky and I would be just getting home from work, while Can. SVT would be thinking about going in.

And Sparky, were you talking about my wife's DVD player at work? When the line goes dorment, she's watching a movie. :lol:

Ford is losing money for two reasons number one poor research make styles people will buy and two the charge more than other companies better quality but people dont see it that way ...

Funny thing is Ford spends more than anyone else on research but doesn't develope it.
