Perhaps you misread what I said or I misread what you said. As I read it you got the initial delivery estimate from a sales person (their title might have been 'manager' or some such but it was still sales.) And it was a date that was not immediate but was instead quite a bit in the future. In that situation I just would not have believed their promised date.

That of course really doesn't say much. After all the same question applies to you - why didn't you buy from Ford/BMW in the first place? Maybe there is something in the speed up in the process that is the cause of your differentiation between the different manufacturers.

Me thinks your expectations are set way too high for a car dealership, expecting them to be honest, efficient and know what is going on is just unrealistic.
As for your Publix, my niece runs the Telstra shops in Oz, they have a similar policy, 3 customer complaints and you are out! The are still crap, they have shot so many horses they are trying to get donkeys to sing!

See my reply to jschell but if Ford and BMW can do it then I don't think it is unreasonable. I will probably just wait now and order the new M3 when it comes out. I kind of like the Audi better though, oh well.

Yeah probably best to go with the M3. You've made enemies at the Audi dealership, so it's probably not a good idea to buy a car from them now. They have to approve warranty coverage, you don't want enemies at the dealership.

I've always hankered after a TT but am realistic, I could never fold myself into one of them these days. I do miss driving, it is not viable to own a car in SG, barely get out of 2nd gear and you are across the island and taxes are ridiculous.
I am now waiting till I retire and will probably go for one of those high riding cross overs or maybe the S from Tesla.

Last time I went to an Audi dealer they were so overtly rude I didn't return.

Now there is a dumb design driven by an idiot, image having the lift controls so convenient they can be activate while driving, imagine designing control that don't cut out beyond a minimum speed. The guys is probably doing 80kph through that tunnel.

Hi All,
Can I tap the hive mind for recommendations for a hand held Rugged PC, that is not a tablet. With the following GPS, Scanner, Bar Code Reader, Camera pretty much a known operation system (Win CE6 ideally)
I would say I keep finding PSIONS but dig a bit deeper and they are life ending. Really, I have been looking and can find no consistent view one review says X is great, another review from a different site says X is useless...

Thanks for that, thought you might come with something, So how the PI stuff comin'?

I have managed to break my PI addiction at the moment. Although I keep logging in to review plant data/live status and keep thinking, need to build some displays for all this but must resist...
Maybe once I get to my new platform in January I'll look at there systems and there PI db and build some stuff to help get my head round the new plant.

Was not aware of the Honeywell Dolphin (sounds dodgy) off to Google I go...

Motorola makes a bunch of these, they are all pretty good from what I remember.
Anyway, I would question why you would spend $2K for one of these, when you can get a smartphone that does all of that for a lot less money, or something like an ipod touch.
|

|
|

Some of the Motorola families were suggested by me. I get feeling that the Smartphone/tablet option is not preferred as these might get 'lost' or 'walk' with people
