Default The Garmin 496...a teenager's review

It actually strikes me more and more that, I will bet you dollars to

is an exclusive contract with Garmin that Garmin is paying good money
to maintain... (that's how things work in my industry, its not about
the technology, its about the Licenses... its not what do you make,
its who do you have). Why take the risk on designing a new project
when for a stipend per month you can have the whole market to
yourself?



How many dollars you got because I can come up with a lot of donuts?
