I don’t think that they made it clear what the actual problem was and just sensationalized the story by saying it was VW, when it wasn’t, it was his local dealership.

I’m sorry Robert, but you’ve just become like any other tech blogger out there.

Back at work today.
Hundreds of emails which took me all day to plough through.

I’m having a clear out of the computer junk (and other junk) I’ve collected over the past year or so. The first thing to get put up on Ebay is a pair of Linksys WPC11 wireless cards. I used to use them before thinkpads came with wireless built in. I used one of them on [...]
