RE: Re: New Comfort has arrived - no paperwork/manuals? now Wiring help required!



Ahh the old size matters debate...

Well the cost wouldn't have anything to do with: R&D, Chip development,
programming, interfacing... :-)

- one of the main criteria for the making of the Baygen windup radio for
Africa, was that it had to be big and heavy (This was from customer feedback
on the early prototypes, if it was big and heavy it had more status!!)


Strange world...

One does wonder how they can sell the comfort at such high prices after
