![]() "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Blueskies., You said vaporware - vaporware doesn't fly, maybe a vaporplane... Something flew, yes. Was it a product from Cessna? Hardly. Vaporware in my book is something you demo to great effect but with nothing even remotely approaching a finished product in sight, let alone a firm date for a finished product "on the shelves". Often, the purpose is to keep the impressed masses from buying an available product from the competition while playing catch-up with that competition after you have badly dropped the ball. IMHO, what Cessna did qualifies fully and in all aspects. I think many would disagree with your definition. Vaporware to most, is a plan, some nice specifications, and some 3-D cad pictures. Have the computer crash, and what do you have to show for your airplane? Nothing. Vapor! -- Jim in NC |
