If you read the fine print of the Terms of Service you'll find an interesting tidbit where you state that you won't use this program for spam. Huh? Section 11 states:
Member agrees: (1) to comply with US law regarding the transmission of technical information; (2) not to use the Service for illegal purposes; (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Service; and (4) to comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to the Service. Member agrees not to transmit through the Service any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature. Member agrees not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, or international law or regulation. Member will not use the Service for chain letters, unsolicited email, spamming or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process
Apparently, you're only sending out spam that people have "signed up" for? How could you prove that I wonder...
Now THAT'S good info! I had a hunch you were talking about a Chrysler vehicle.:) Dealer manuals are definitely a good option as the $90 you paid would be the average "hook up" fee you'd pay a dealer.
Thanks for the link to ODB-II! I don't know why, but I never even thought to look that up online...
What year/make is your car? Take the Jeep Cherokee, for example. What you stated about Haynes is good up until about 1990 (I know, I had one). After that, you're screwed. You have to take it to the dealer. Or the early '90's Ford Explorers. I have the Haynes manual for that and it ain't in there, buddy.
Chryslers are generally the best as far as letting you diagnose the code yourself. But, I think it was around '90 that Chrysler bought Jeep.
I agree! It used to be that the average mom & pop or even home enthusiast could purchase the "decoding" machines or the books that translated the engine light codes. Those days ended around 1992, I believe.
As a car enthusiast and do-it-yourselfer, it's irritating as hell to have to pay an exorbitant fee to some dealer just to tell me what the computer THINKS is wrong with my car.
9 times out of 10, it's just some sensor somewhere that is malfunctioning and needs replacing. Usually, if the sensor weren't there, the car would run fine, too. I'll take my good-old v8 any day over cars with 50 million sensors that go bad.
Considering as I'd have a completely different occupation than I have now thanks to the evolution of technology in the workplace, I'd have to say 'no'. It's not given me more stress. In fact, I have less stress because I have a good paying job.
Sometimes my eyes really hurt, though, when I've been staring at the screen too long, you know? Kinda like they're boring holes through my brain into the back of my skull...I guess that's a kind of stress.
I've had a dish for 2 years now and I think I had a problem once during an exceptionally nasty snowstorm. Even then, it was very brief. Depending on the programming you want, too. Satellite is usually WAY cheaper.
Always multiply the actual time it will take you by four when providing estimates. For example, a job will actually take you 2 days - tell your customer it will take no more than 8 days.

You know, I gotta agree. I'm in that demographic range and I sure don't watch half the TV I used to. I attribute this to two things:
1)Reality TV
2)Scifi cancelled Farscape

Just a month ago (before I heard about all this) I got a notice from Dish that they were raising the monthly rate by $2 or $3 per month.
