Thanks, Dave for bringing me into the present.  I once swore I'd 
never own a car new enough to be computerized and now I have one 
more reason why.  Except for my daily driver, the D is the newest 
car I've ever owned.

that confirms what I just said.  

Actually I drive a 96 Hummer (OK - I broke down and bought a 
computerized vehicle and I hate the fact that I can't just push start 
it myself)  with dual Optima yellow tops and am always willing to 
come to everyone's rescue.   I'll rethink that!  Although I have to say  
confirming "red to positive" is my standard for jumping cars, much 
like one would  say "clear" for a  defribulator or "four" for golfers. 

I had to smile at the idea of a frozen battery here in the desert -- 
that will be a sure sign of Armageddon.

Thanks again for the advice.
