Bose processing...was Re: [BC] QUESTION FOR THE "MIND" MASSES

[Alan Kline]

Speaking of rentals...

A couple of weeks ago we rented an Suzuki mid-size for a trip from Iowa to 
Arkansas and back...

The AM section of the radio was virtually non-existant.  As we were headed from
Kansas City back toward Iowa, I tried to tune in WHO Des Moines to get some info
on the weather and road conditions.  Should have been able to get a halfway decent
signal anywhere north of the Iowa border.  Nothing.  Tried again just southwest of
the Des Moines metro.  Still nothing.

If you can't get a 50-kw blowtorch 20 miles away, what can you get?

When I turned the car in, I made clear to the clerk that there are customers who
consider AM to be important, especially in situations like this.  Not that it'll
do any good... I fully expect my next rental to have one of those gizmos for 
connecting an iPod...
