Whatever happened to the concept "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ?

I think the answer to this whole flap is that if there is a better system out
there that: 1- Is affordable 2- is as accurate 3- Is reliable for not missing
ANY times Everyone would use it, USFRA, SCTA/BNI and Rice Bros. When you have
invested as much time in searching and testing as Gary Wilkinson has ...
you'll know why we use what we have now. Wes On Sep 3, 2009, at 7:44 AM, Jon
