Grin... then I am sure this imaginary fellow will be happy to let the 
new computer automated drivers take over the wheel for him.

    An Imagined Conversation.

    - Hello?
    - Hello, I am looking for someone to tune my piano.
    - Yes, I would be happy to make an appointment.
    - First, I would like to ask a few questions about your work.
    - Certainly.
    - Do you use an automobile or do you walk to your customers' home ?
    - Well, both, I do use an automobile, and park it in the driveway, then
    walk from there to your door and into your living room.
    - Well, I am very skeptical of service people who use mechanical
    devices.
    - I suppose I could walk the entire distance from my home to yours, but
    it would take me longer and I would end up at the same place.
    - The last tuner drove his automobile into my flower garden, so that is
    why I am skeptical.
    - Possibly he did not know how to operate it properly. Again, I can
    assure you that I operate my automobile competently.
    - Well, thanks anyway, but I would be more comfortable with someone who
    doesn't depend on devices.
