GPS Question.... Yet Again

wrote:
I think I am sold on the AirMap 1000 with either Yoke Mount or the
Suction Cup Mount. I believe the 1000 comes with buth types of mounts,
so I can try them both and see what is the best for me. I have been
looking for low priced AirMaps and found one for $499.00, falls right at
the edge of my budget. Also, it includes all the goodies (e.g. 2
different mounts, Power adapter, carrying case, extra memory card etc)

I will play with the demo software of the AirMap 1000 and make sure
before I order the unit tomorrow.

Also, if I had the extra $300 I could get the Airmap 2000C for something
like $799. That is a real steal IMO.



I mis-stated the price... It is actually $399 for the Airmap 1000, brand
new from factory. What deal!

check that price...sportys is$599 for the 1000 and $399 for the 500.

Yeah, I know. I have talked to the guy and confirmed the $399 price twice
now. He normally sells the units for $499.00 but starting tomorrow will be
able to lower the price $100. The factory is lowering the cost to
distributors by $100 and he is passing this savings on to customers. This
makes the unit $399.00, brand new from the factory. He is listed as a
distributor at Lowrance as well.

This is for a Lowrance 1000... $300 more for a 2000C... Reads like you
should sell the current one with the plane for full price...

I am not following your comment...

I do not have a plane or a GPS. I am in the market for a GPS and came
across a good deal on the Airmap 1000.

Wasn't meant for usenet, sent a kill request in its regard, that wasn't
honored by the ISP...

If it was an "unsend" "unsend" that got away from you, how does a kill
request work? Have many people used this service/feature?

ISTM that a kill request would need to be sent AND processed in the blink of
an eye for it to catch an "unsend" "unsend."

My posts mostly show up, back on my machine, rather quickly after I send
them. Sometimes not so quick. Once in a while it's almost instantaneous.
Sync All ..."wow, there's my post." That's rare, but it happens.

Usenet supports a device known as a "cancel post". It's similar to the
original post, but includes information telling the receiving server to
remove the original post. Yes, when it's used there's a brief period during
which the original post is still visible, until the cancel post catches up
to it. But once the cancel post has made it to the same servers that the
original post made it to, the original post disappears.

At least, that's the theory. In reality, Usenet has no security or
authentication protocols, and cancel posts are (were) regularly abused. A
person with a grudge or who disagreed with another person's viewpoint would
post a fraudulent cancel post, to remove that other person's post. It used
to be that there were so few users on Usenet that the few instances where
cancel posts were abused could be easily dealt with. But that hasn't been
true in a long time, and most ISPs simply ignore cancel posts altogether.

So, Darrel presumably tried to send a cancel post, but since nearly all ISPs
simply don't honor them anymore, it had no effect. It's possible that you
would have still seen the original post, even if it did have an effect,
depending on when he sent the original, when he sent the cancel, and when
you checked the latest messages on your news server. But in reality, it's
unusual these days for a cancel post to have any effect anywhere.

It removed it from the ISP server, but not fast enough for the rest of
the world...

Just does... Its typically a part of the newsreader...
