This just saddly proves that it is a software programming issue matched to a VIN. I drive multiple fords with the same screen (hardware) and they display different screens.

If this message is meant for me, then no I won't be headed to Waynesboro. I live in southwest Georgia not far from Americus, and will be headed to Unidilla, GA. Waynesboro is is a fairly long way from here at 180 miles. Unidilla is 35 miles which is far enough but it is all little travelled country roads. Fairly scenic too by south GA standards.

I see you are from Greenwood, SC. Are you a native from there?
I have been through Greenwood many times and have a very close friend from Ware Shoals.

I am a South Carolinian.
I grew up in Columbia, graduated from Clemson, then from MUSC in Charleston, and did internship and residency in Greenville.

Wife is a Greenville girl and her college roommate was from Greenwood. My sister still lives in Columbia but I very rarely go back there.

Mike

Nope, not native. I grew up in north Atlanta area. Alpharetta '81-88. Before it exploded it was just like greenwood. Wound up in greenwood consolidating a small business, been here 10 years, my father moved here about 16 years ago.

I went to Georgia. It's nice being close to Athens, Anderson, and Columbia.

I install/remove ct/Mri/vascular/x-Ray systems for Toshiba medical and a number of third party imaging companies. Most of my time is spent rigging in new Toshiba imaging equipment. I flew two magnets into their new homes last week. Delivering the electronics this week...

Small world...

I am a radiologist, semiretired-doing part time work with the Phoebe Putney group. I am half-time and half-assed.

There are a lot of days when I wish you would come move a few CT units OUT OF HERE. We cover a total of 13 (I think) CTs and when they all get going we play pure hell trying to keep up. I keep my hair short or would end up pulling it all out!
Even worse is the Powerscribe voice to transcription unit. To say it is absolutely horrible is too great a compliment

I don't do MRI, nor, by the grace of "The Great Spirit", mammography. Just CT and conventional radiography but man let me tell it can be overwhelming sometimes.

I really can't complain though. All in all life and medicine have been very good to me and I am grateful. It has allowed me a new Ford Superduty!! I have had plenty of 1/2 tons in my life but for inexplicable reasons have always wanted a diesel. I have absolutely no need for a Superduty and it is way too big, but I love it! I washed it yesterday and my back hurts today.

It goes to the dealer today for the heated steering wheel problem. It will get fixed eventually but I hope they can do it today.

I live out in the country but have an Andersonville address not far from the home of Jimmy Carter. Andersonville is the infamous prison of the War for Southern Independence. It is now a National Historic Site administered by the Park Service. It is an historic place with a museum. The only museum site in the world dedicated to POWs. It is very touching and I highly recommend it to anyone coming to this area. You cannot leave without a tear in your eye.

If you are ever close by or need an excuse to go somewhere, please come see it, even if you were never military. Give me a call and I will treat you to a beer.

I am in the phone book. Michael Baldwin, or email nearlynormalmike@yahoo.com. I will be glad to give you my phone numbers by PM. I just sort of hate to put them out there on a public forum

Cool! We could talk a while, lol. I mainly deal with Toshiba and everyone I talk to says their ct is fantastic. Fast, easy, clean but there is something goofy about the os that takes getting used to and the techs usually don't use the head holder properly, I dunno why.

I'm delivering three of their top of the line 360mm cats next week in south Florida so my route is going to be I-95 for a few days. I will definitely keep in touch, never know, you'll be opening your own imaging center one day and I'll put all the equipment in for ya.cheers

Please do keep in touch.
I doubt I will be opening any imaging centers or even work all that much longer.
While I don't look it, or so I am told, and don't feel it, I am now 71 years old.
You might not want to get a beer from an "old man", even if it's free.
I am admittedly new to diesels but learning a lot.
Would love to chat in person but please do not feel obligated.
