you don’t know jack

February 5, 2007

Above: Your tax dollars at work. I sent the payment for my vehicle registration on February 1, 2007. It was mailed February 2, 2007 and received today.

Holy shit was that fast.

Very nice.

————————-While my sister was in town, she rented a GPS from Enterprise rent-a-car. And yes, you can do that. You can rent these things. She received the exact same GPS I have, the Garmin StreetPilot c340. When I was messing around with it, I noticed she had more choices for voices, like British accents, Australian accents and so on.

Hm.. must mean I can get these too?

Yep. A lot of ‘em.

I also noticed a software update. I checked mine to see what version I had. I was way behind.. 2.10. So I downloaded 3.70 and updated.

And holy crap were there a ton of updates since v2.10. I’m glad I did the update.

The best part was installing the voice (American English) “Jack”. It sounds way better than “Jill” does. Much more intelligible. I’ll stick with Jack for a while and see if I like it. If not, I’ll go back to Jill.
