Default Vision Microsystem being killed by JPI?

I placed an order for a 6 cylinder VM1000C last July. I didn't realize
that JPI was buying Vision at that time. I was told to expect it in 2
months, which was OK. In 2.5 months when I hadn't heard a word I called
and got a message to call a number in Texas? I called that number and
was told Vision had been bought, moved to Texas and I should expect a 2
month delay on delivery. Hmmm... I did have other things to do but I
was all set to start installing it. My panel is cut out already for the
Vision and I have Vision fuel probes installed in fiberglass wings(not
easy to change).

I was then subjected to a "it will be another month" on my monthly call
for 4 months. THey never have initiated a call to let me know my
delivery will be delayed. I just called them this morning on the texas
number and got a recording, no humans to answer the phone? It says to
call a number in San Diego which I did, which is also an answering
machine. This is sounding very ominous.

You think JPI bought Vision Microsystems to just kill the competition?
I worked for a company that Microsoft did just that.

Anybody actually receive a VM engine monitor from JPI in the last 6
months? Was it a VM1000C?

JPI is still running ads for the VM1000C which say clearly, "In stock,
shipping now".

If you have prepaid for the unit now is the time to file a formal
complaint of interstate fraud with the Attorney General of the USA...
