Hi! Hedley.
Tradition, resistance to change by the "establishment" jobs for the boys
syndrome, etc. etc. That's why I can't sell an invention that saves 2 days
on the discharge of 200,000+ bulk carrier ships! Those that do it are paid
on time and labour so the more time and more labour the more they get to
claim.
Buy my kit which eliminates both and they "shoot their selves in the
foot"!!!! It's funny though that I've been successful in Brazil where even
life is cheap not even labour. They must realise the "telephone numbers of
increased through put" must justify the change of attitude.

I quote New Scientist: tiny chip-sized micro-electromechanical systems
include gyroscopes, tilt sensors and accellerometers which can be bought off
the shelf and plugged in , made in a similar way to silicon chips so they're
cheap. Now why do I have to have a bloody great suction pump and a tonnage
of whirling dervishes in my dashboard just to get the same information? I
could now surely put my flight simulator software to good use and have an
image on my palm-top in the cockpit just like the one on my play-screen,
which , with input from the Garmin, is topographically correct and visually
corresponds to the attitude, speed, etc of the aircraft. All for a few bob.
What's wrong with the world - the technology exists and is cheap and we
haven't got it. Woe!.....h
