P.P.S  I haven't really bought a new BMW M5.

Well, that's obvious - if you had, you'd already know that the speed limiter
kicks in at 155, not 160. <grin>

Regarding IBM's governor, it's quite annoying that it's implemented in the way
that it is.  For an analogy, let's continue using that BMW speed limiter.  Let's
say it limits the speed to 155 - if there's one person in the car.  Put two
people in the car and it drops to 150 - okay, that may be reasonable, extra
weight and all that.  Go up to three people and it drops to 140 - well, maybe
that makes sense.  Four people, 130, five people, 120 - that's starting to get a
little severe.  Then you add that sixth person, which exceeds the rated capacity
of the car - good heavens, the limiter just dropped to 30 and they cut the power
steering to boot!  THAT'S what really irritates those of us who have dealt with
it.
