Hi, Hammo - - -

When this "activation" issue was first floated on the NG several years
ago. I don't remember anyone raising the issue of computer programming
being required.  I think that the Dealers are just hung up on the need
to tie in to the Great Computer in the Sky in Sweden.  Before models
other than all S80's, all S60's and the S/V70's and 40's after 2000(?),
this was a non-issue.  It's only the models loaded with microprocessors
that swing this way.

Surely someone out there with a memory younger than mine will recollect
just what was required to effect this project . . .
