Yeah, yeah, yeah,-Ernie,---------and on and on and on and on and on, just like they've been doing for over a hundred years. Breaking engineers hearts and bankrupting companies. Just how much longer you want to look ?
Until they cure the basic flaws in the design, the damn thing will never ever work, let alone make one red cent profit.
I seem to have been down this particular road before-------Deja---Vous ?
