Understand.  Not the problem this time, for sure... way too much wind 
and usually had the windows open except when rolling.  Will make a note 
to double-check the exhaust system on the Jeep for holes, but 
nevertheless, a very good warning for Rovers.

(I can also tell it's not that, since I'm still feeling puny today... 
tired/lethargic and some of the other symptoms of a couple day cold/flu 
bug.)

It whined at me about not giving it a POWER category -- there aren't any 
POWER categories for Rovers.

I e-mailed them just to make sure and got a confirmation back that it 
didn't matter at all for Rovers, and that the robot just picks "HIGH" 
when one isn't provided, just as it says when it whines about it in the 
automatic reply.

Hopefully sending this to the list will keep a few other Rovers from 
e-mailing them "just to make sure" like I did.
