I think it's very clever to make customers pay to to be beta testers, but I don't have that kind of money or time. And I'm not spitting in anyone's face - I'm pointing out the fact that no one was answering my question. Anyway, I'm getting an alternate setup tomorrow. How much do you want to bet that I'll be able to get it up and running in one afternoon?
I don't understand your logic really. While the SR-71 is new and has some issues saying "beta" isn't fully correct, but if you want to judge it that way go ahead. Beta testing was done before the production. Bob was one of the beta testers. Moreover, as others have said you don't have any skin in the game on the SR-71 so what is your point - to express you frustration behind a keyboard in a non constructive manner? If so you succeeded Sir.
Now the Persei - clearly not a beta unit. The Omicron carts have been around before the Persei. The Persei was built for additional power and a newer series of carts. Now while we understand you are having issues with your new Hercules, but your issues are well documented here and if you read them you would have expectations that where met. However, they seem not to have been met so I think you have not.
Additionally you complain about lack of "customer service" - WOW! Really??? Go figure. I think you have been well treated by them. Guess you have a thirst that can't be quenched. You answers are in the posts, but seems you don't spend much time searching and reading. Moreover, you first response is a whining post with I'm going to the classified - implying you are selling the equipment. Not the first time you have done this. Don't see that as constructive or mature really.
Personally I believe the Omicron carts or simply put the $200 you spent on your Persei is clearly an user error as overwhelming data proves the stock Persei setup is one of the best units for oil available. Lets see 480 pages of discussion on it in this thread. And as OF once told me - we are not a bunch of fanboys...
That said it is a hyper drive unit and requires a learning curve which we all have been through. Myself included in the beginning. You very well my be happy with the unit you are getting tomorrow. It may have an easier learning curve, but it will never preform to the level of the Persei/Omicron carts once mastered. If you find you are happy with the new one, my suggestion is do visit the classified area and unload the Persei to a new home. Clearly you don't need it and going through the learning curve may have no benefit to you. However, you may just throw it in the drawer and in time you may change your mind. You may find the need for more preformance. The league the Persei is in and therefore the learning curve will have benefit, but it takes effort on your part. Nothing is free of course.
Finally -keep in mind posts can be bonding or distancing. I think yours are the latter at the moment hence the lack of help. What's in it for us to help someone acting like this?
I'll wait for a day or two just in case someone jumps in to help.
Seriously, you are the only person that constantly repeats answered questions and blatantly ignores other people's posts. This is not the first time by any means. Hell, I'm the one who had to personally tell you that G offered you a free SR-71 because you admittedly refused to read any posts that were made addressing your original complaint. I'll say that again. In a previous post, you clearly stated that you had not bothered to read any of the posts that people had made pertaining to a question/complaint that you asked/made. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? So why on earth should we bother taking the time to personally address your previously answered questions?
