Dan,

The 396 is a great piece of gear, but we desperately need some real
competition in this field. What's Lowrance's problem, anyway?


We have competition. Only not in the very top end of the market.

That's the point...

Glad you can all afford that kind of unit. I certainly can't.

....and that's the problem. I bet Garmin is making some very fat margin
on the 396, as they should for beating the hell out of their
competitors. Nice for them; tough for us who want--hell, *need*--the
revolutionary capabilities of the 396.
