True or trash?

False. They are also extremely careful about avoiding piracy of
software themselves.

Jeez. Like he would know but lets post anyway!

And I doubt he knows the difference between "software piracy" and
"reverse engineering".


Who, me or Anthony?

I'm a luddite and I know the difference..

I'd demand my deposit back.

Me, too.

Dang, it's hard to find ANYTHING not made in China anymore. I've
noticed that even many of the books I've been buying lately are from
China now...

This will be a PR nightmare for Cessna IMO. How long until the Skycatcher is
known as a Chinese POS? Even if I chose an overseas builder I would NEVER of
chose a Chinese company only through perception alone.



And yet you'll gladly plunk down the money for that new Garmin.

Cessna have obviously done thier homework, they have weighed the pros

The most effective solution being the use of slave labor and not having to
comply with any environmental laws? No wonder things are cheaper when
manufactured in China!

Exactly. If you just: don't pay your employees anything; lie about using,
say, toxic paint; pirate, copy or steal other people's technology and; kill
anybody who speaks out in dissent, you can save a lot of money.

Money, at the end of the day, is all that matters to most people.

All true. All could be said of the USA a century ago.

Then, perhaps in a century, China will be worth doing business with.
Until then, why should I be expected to buy a Cessna when the money
from that transaction will go to bullets with our soldiers' names on
them?

Do you mean IE 7 looks like firefox?

It doesn't seem like firefox at all.


give ie7pro.com a try. this is a nice plugin for IE 6 and above and adds
many good features.
