[TenTec] Orion II Display

[Gary Smith]

Carl,

You're certainly a gifted guy. It's a damned shame you didn't team 
with TenTec or they didn't select you. Whatever, you are doing the 
things TenTec should get off their asses and do themselves. 

I got tired of TenTec's dodges to the questions of why no updates. I 
looked at who was trying to make headway and bought a K3 instead of 
the Orion II. Totally TenTec's loss, I'd been a loyal used for damned 
near 30 years now. Jumped ship a year ago.

Glad you're supporting TenTec where they will not, I really want them 
to survive, in spite of themselves.

73,

Gary
