HI to all,
so it should start again, as I see.
I posted the results thinking they have to appear on this stage
as some of "haapies" would want to show my inconsistency.
We were talking about ten-tec - what it produces, how it does it
and how they treat their customers. I should have add,
and what we, putting some knowledge and work into the device,
might get out of it. But, be realistic, you'll never get any
substantial help from the original manufacturer.
I don't know why we shouldn't do that on this reflector.
It's as good a forum as any other. Whatever is the outcome,
it may give some extra thought to everybody.
And it's well where this reflector should be focused at.
Besides.
I'm not happy with the results.
With some rig really being working properly, I would have
doubled the final score, AT LEAST.
See you all..
Stay happy, but still, remember, think twice,
before you start reading ten-tec commercials.
Learn from the mistakes committed by others.
It's a part of a universal wisdom, guys...
