Think I figured out the shuddering when starting from a stop...can't believe it

That's why they keep us locked in the basement.

Note: That was just an example - I don't work for Ford. I am, however an engineer stuck working in a basement with desks/cubicle walls from 1970 while the people upstairs are on like... their 4th remodel since 2000.

I understand that lol I've been with companies like that. The software company I'm with now is the exact opposite -- I'm in QA and pretty much as soon as Tech Support realizes they can't answer the question they come to us or development. It's fantastic. It makes the customers *much* more happy and keeps me busy!

And definitely check out "The IT Crowd". One of the most funny shows on television (it's on Netflix).
