Subject: Re: [LML] Re: iPad GPS

Wow... I have seen a few that meet your description. Most others have been p=
retty normal looking. One in the store closest to my house is a normal looki=
ng gray haired guy just like me. He knows his stuff, and that is why I like h=
ome. Some of those "weird looking" ones in the stores near me have demonstra=
ted that they know their stuff, I like them too. Some of the normal looking a=
re full of wrong answers & bad info, and I found it aggravating to listen th=
em giving technically inaccurate answers. Now your comment answers a questio=
n that I kept to myself until now... "I wonder how much dressing like that h=
urts their credibility?". In the end, I want technically correct and complet=
e answers. If I get that from them, how they dress makes no difference to me=
. If they are giving out bad info, I don't care how "normal" they appear, th=
e info is still wrong.

Independent of appearance, they are not all created equal. I have encountere=
d some unimpressive "Geniuses" (misnomers in those cases), but most have bee=
n very good at providing first rate tech support. As someone who has made a c=
areer of providing advanced tech support, I am in a position to judge good f=
rom bad.

Now wouldn't it be nice if we got back to Lancair related discussions, and s=
trive to stick to technically accurate facts. I know that I devote time in t=
hings like LML, to learn. When misinformation, and irrelevant opinionated co=
mments are being posted, it wastes our time, and in some cases leads us in u=
nproductive directions.
