What's wrong with minivans?

Ken, lead tech writer for Speech Server, shakes his head at the recent controversy among some MSS people over whether real men can own minivans.

Hey, I'm way past this and I love my new Honda Odyssey. I sold my 7-year-old Ford Windstar last week and couldn't be happier.

Hmmm, does that mean I'm not a real man?

I mean how cool would it be if the minivan was also a "Wireless Mobile Command Center with Xbox 360 Satellite TV & TiVo” ????

I love it. I guess there is a lot of us non real men running around.

Hey, doesn't Ken use a pink bowling ball?
