 able to figure it out...too many buttons!! <G>
 And I knew that! <G>
 Noooo!! Just got the car last year and it was like that when I got it...
 never asked anyone why it didn't work; just accepted for what it was...
 a broken cassette player!! <G>
 I think I know what the shiny metal thing is Chuck...that much I have
 figured out! <VBG>  I think I can handle that!<G>
