Some of us are cheapskates because we can't afford anything else. I fly an $11,000 glider that I have owned for almost 10 years, Drive a $1,500 Car. Last year I paid... $144 Insurance $64 SSA Membership $75 Annual $10 State Registration $550 for Glider Tows. for a yearly total budget of about $843 I would love to have SeeYou but it costs almost 21% of my annual soaring budget. Brian Get a proper job then ![]() Al That is about the rudest comment I have seen in year. With attitudes like that, I am beginning to understand why we don't see more young people in the soaring community. There are many of us who fly what they can afford; however, we do fly and we enjoy it. Yes we could spend more on the sport if soaring was the only thing in our life that we considered important.

Hi John, SeeYou keys are not tied to PC serial numbers. You can install it on as many of your PCs as you like without any need for additional keys. The same is true for SeeYou Mobile. I think this is a very flexible, user-friendly method, since I can have SeeYou on my PC for home use and on the laptop when I travel without any hassle. I can have a copy of Mobile on my Ipaq 3835 that I normally use in the glider, and a copy on my Ipaq 2215 that I use as a backup to the 3835 (the 2215 normally runs TomTom to direct my motorhome to the nearest airport when the cu start popping!). Mobile isn't tied to a particular vario serial number, either, so I can switch varios just by switching a plug. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org |

And in my experience they have been very helpful with technical questions,
at no charge. "Tuno" wrote in message ups.com... It only costs you that one time, Brian, like the money you spent on your glider, which you forgot to include in your annual soaring budget. Of course, if you don't want the software that's fine, but to anyone who feels the impulse to skirt the license issue, remember those folks at Naviter have mouths to feed too, and they are not getting rich on this product. 2NO |
