As I living on the other side of the Atlantic, the "online" interview was not practical at all, so I offered to ask questions myself per e-mail ;-)<BR/><BR/>After that, I asked Garmin if they wanted to answer, as the Avidyne guy criticized the G1000, but I had ho feed-back from Garmin at this time.<BR/><BR/>By the way, thank you for the link.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-30443830959714099772008-11-10T04:02:00.000+00:002008-11-10T04:02:00.000+00:00Sales texts warn of my type.

I'm best given a wide berth to avoid the poison spreading to other marks, as when pushed I'll gladly piss on the playground in retaliation.<BR/><BR/>Turning the volume down and ignoring questions is a learned response. Forgetting the person you are silencing has a pen and a publisher is a tactical error.<BR/><BR/>Companies clueless enough to behave in this fashion are guilty of hypeware until proven innocent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-53667973692320119142008-11-10T03:52:00.000+00:002008-11-10T03:52:00.000+00:00re: "Corporations like that are struggling to unde...re: "Corporations like that are struggling to understand blogs as a marketing channel" ... It makes me feel so dirty, so used! Will they still respect me in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me that if they want to use Aviatrix and others they must be prepared to give something in return. I fail to see why anyone would want to bother having their blog space hi-jacked this way to pimp products for someone.
