Hi, Just thought I would post an opinion on this "electonic marvel" that the modern world seems not to be able to do without anymore.

You know, these machines are really quite wondeful, when they work right. You can go to all kinds of places and get all kinds of information on just about everything that you want information on. But when they start doing those strange little, quite annoying, bits of screwing up and doing things that they didn't do before, for no apparent reason that we can see, they become a very big pain in the a--- very, very quickly.

Sometimes I wonder if the makers of these things don't put a certain "something" way back in that brain box there to help it sort of self-destruct as time goes on, thusly making the user either have to have it fixed, a temporary fix that is, or just give up in total frustration, junk it, and buy a whole new one, that will sooner or later, more likely sooner that we want, start the whole aggravating process all over again.

This one has been making all kinds of little frustrating happenings lately, for whatever reason I have no idea. And being eletronically challenged myself, hasn't helped matters. Have had my wife work on it and also the son and daughter and they don't know what or why it's doing these little annoying things either.

Soon I will have to have somebody look at it and spend money to get the d---thing fixed or either just junk it and buy a whole new outfit.

What I would really like, and greatly enjoy doing, at the moment, is taking the "brain" out to the shooting range and unload a couple of 30 round clips from my son's AK-47 into just to see what the "brain" thinks of that!!!!!!!!!! If it won't work right, at least make it airborne qualified. Ha, ha!

Oh well. The range folks only allow paper targets anyway.

Thanks for the vent. Take care, Sgirty

Only paper targets bummer dude! It's kind of fun to see what a couple of .308 AP rounds does to this stuff. Might I say it can be very gratifying... lol's
