    Hey,

    Just had to share this:

    Upon visiting the Ferrari owners site a few moments back it presented me with a list of "usage acceptance criteria" like I've never seen before - No less than 4 "scrolling windows" containing terms & conditions and 6 (yeah, 6!) 'click to accept' buttons.......

    Looks like there's getting to be too many attorneys over there as well :-(

    Cheers,
    Ian

    You have to understand the mindset, IMO..

    I recently changed email, and after sending them a polite update, they responded AFTER changing it for me, step by step how I could have done it myself!

    Duhhh...oh!

    It took a long time to load My Garage as well....but now they can see the Ferrari Art Car for themselves...only one in the world, you know.........;)

    I didn't say I read 'em, just that they were there :)

    Not being an attorney I doubt I'd understand 'em anyway.....

    It just looks like someone's doing a fine C.Y.A job [Probably in response to more new laws/rules and regulations.]

    Italy will never have as many lawyers as we do here, but the bureaucracy is much, (infamously) worse. It goes back about 500yrs or so. They say about the bureaucrats"devono mangiare tutti"....they all gotta eat!!!

    Hey you guys only have to deal with a computer and checking off a couple of boxes. Some of us are married to Italians and have mother in laws.
    You think you have it bad....

    Quote of the Day! :D

    Hey, at least you get real Italian food! Mine is from Trinidad so I get Caribbean food...which is, unfortunately, very different from Italian.
