It's amazing that you're the only one to think of this.
Congratulations!

Look around at the demographic of pilots nowadays. I'm 48, and I'm
still considered the "Young Guy" at the airport -- which is the reason
so few pilots apparently grasp how truly clunky the 496 is to use.
Garmin is not dealing with a generation that has grown up with a mouse
in our hands, and most pilots have nothing to compare the 496 against.

My son does. And his observations were right on the money.

Jay,

Stick to running hotels. As a technologist, you're assessment is
embarrassing.


As someone who was presumably taught the English language at an early
age.. "you're"... (??)

Glass houses and all that.

Your analogy is wrong on two counts. Evidently your English skills outweigh
your technical and logical skills.
