I have no complaints whatsoever with JPI tech support. I'm not sure
what the hub-bub is about, but I for sure didn't get any bad support.

I think the "hubbub" came about when they decided to make their data
format proprietary. JPI had every right to do that, and they furnish
a free viewer that also saves the data in xls format, but there was
one of these multi-day 200 entry discussions on rap about heartless
they were not to listen to everybody that was happy with what they
had.


Actually, the bad rap that JPI has came years ago when they sued a
maker of fuel flow instruments for experimental aircraft over the name
of a product. The maker (Matronics) had something called (IIRC) "Flowscan".
JPI wanted to name their new device "Floscan" and sued the smaller company
into changing the name. It was considered an exceedingly unwarranted suit
by many.

I may have the details wrong, but thats how I remember it happening.
