Default CAI-302 Utility Program

Lou with all due respect, bringing my laptop to the airport,
purchasing a converter cable, disconnecting my Oudie cable from my
302, connected this new cable, disconnecting the new cable and them
rehooking up my Oudie cable does not sound simple to me. This is my
point of my first post. We Should be able to bypass all of the
above. Simple to me is to have Naviter put the CAI Utility on the
Oudie and then open the program with the touch of your finger and do
your thing.


I love self-absorption. It's such a pleasure to watch.

Let me see: using a laptop on the field which you probably already had
in your car to use in the clubhouse and hooking and unhooking a cable is
much more difficult and stressful than re-writing parts of a large
application - including its tricky communication protocols, testing the
re-writes, re-writing to fix the faults, re-testing, etc and then
promulgating the result to hundreds of owners around the world - of whom
ONLY 10 GIVE A DAMN!

....and ALL of that 10 already own the program and wouldn't pay a penny
for the revision!

Now I'm as prospective an Oudie owner as any of the thousands of r.a.s.
readers who also don't own one. Will easier 302 compatibility make me
rush out and buy one? No. Will any price rise due to increased software
maintenance overheads make the Oudie a more attractive purchase to me
and thousands of other non-owners? No also.

All you 302 + Oudie fans please shoot a email to Naviter and ask them
to give use the option of loading the CAI Utility during the next
update, I would hazard a guess it would be quite simple for them to
do so and would be another great benefit of owning a Oudie.
