XM question for Garmin 396/496 owers

Well, my first "calculator" was a slide rule.So I have a bit of a higher
comfort level with low tech than you kids. I grew up before the "instant
gratification" generation came along.

No one is arguing that you can't fly without a 496 and live weather. Far
from it -- I fly the Ercoupe more than the Pathfinder nowadays, and I tell
the weather in that plane by hanging my arm out the canopy and feeling the
air...

;-)

However, "Bertie" purports to be some sort of "master pilot" here, when, in
fact, he's obviously never flown with on-board weather. Or, worse, he
*has* flown with on-board weather, and still doesn't see the utility of it
versus calling Flight Service?

Either scenario is absurd, and no experienced pilot in the year 2008 would
make such statements.

And I'd still wager that "Bertie" knows his way around an airplane.

So does MX, but that doesn't prove much.

IMO, both suck, just they suck in different ways.

Well, McCain is at least a veteran.

Oh, wait -- we *were* talking about politics, right?

Yes, I have you moron.

I can see the utilty of it.

No he does't you fjukkktard.

And th efact that you can't tell the difference says more about you than
anyone needs to know.

Then prove it dip****.

I see enough nonsense in your babble, that I have to agree with Jay. You're
nothing but bull****. You might fool the less experienced, but you
underestimate many of us.

Your severe control tendencies, childish babbling when cornered on an issue,
and worship of all the kook and troll nonsense - clearly marks you as
someone with very serious mental health issues. Not to mention your
inability to ignore a post under your name.

I have often been very tempted to keep tweaking you until even your most
adamant supports could no longer deign it. But it's just not worth the all
the noise.

You are truly twisted, and will always suffer, until you come to terms with
your own personal issues. And if by accident you really are a pilot, I pity
anyone that flies on your aircraft, or has to work with you. I know your
type very well, I grew up next door neighbor just like you.

Mx on the other hand lures them in by the dozens. Let's them waste
hours trying to explain (and argue with each other) the most simple
concepts, and then spanks them for being stupid enough to answer him.

You're right, of course, but I'll still take ten MXs for every one
"Bertie". At least MX is entertaining (and occasionally starts some
VERY interesting, on-topic threads) while "Bertie" is just an
embarrassment.


Bertie has your number.

Bull****, you don't understand yourself, much less anyone else.

Really?

do tell.

Your severe control tendencies, childish babbling when cornered on an

Inability?

You miss the point MAxie.

most adamant supports could no longer deign it. But it's just not
worth the all the noise.

Bwawhahwha!

Did he hurt you?

If you can't see by now, that silence will solve nothing, then you must
be totally blind.

If YOU can't see that silence, and informing new people via back channels,
(or one time in a post) as to the situation, then you must be blind.

It HAS worked before.

Remember the Bass wars?

Hint: Seem him around lately?

Wake up, indeed.
