Oldglide,
I'm actually quite happy that you're retired and loving it. As for me, I'm one of those lucky people who actually enjoys their job, so there's no need to feel sorry for me. I'll retire some day when I stop having fun.

This thread seems to have gone completely off topic, but i guess i will put in my two cents to on the off topic portion
I agree ScanCHS, i feel sorry for Oldglide, his posts paint a very negative working life.
I also have no desire to retire, my company grew by about 30% during the recession, has one of the best benefits/investment packages in canada, and lets me do a job i love waking up to everyday (plus i got paid damn well for what i do). I dont think i would want to pull any freedom 55 even if i could, if you can go to work, be apart of something really cool, and get paid for it, why would you want to?
I know you stated your postings werent angry Oldglide, but i am pretty sure if you took a poll of 100 people, 99 would say you suffer from "disgruntled ex-employee"
...and as far as the whole key thing goes, as long as Uniden isnt charging you to fix something that should work from the get go (if the box says it scans P25, and it doesnt, and they charge you for a fix that makes it work, yes, that is wrong)....but if they came out with an upgrade that had a feature that WASNT advertised as part of the original product (they come out with an update that scans ProVoice
) then they are free to charge you, because even if its using the radio you already had, its no a feature you bought.
If you buy a car with the cheapest options, you cant go back to the dealership later and say you want the more expensive options just because they are available at free of charge
