I'm in the babysteps portion of screwing around with SeaClear, which I quit because it's a little crude, and OpenCPN, which I'm enjoying and which seems to have a very active developer community.<br /><br />But I have by no means ruled out AC as I am a big fan of netbook or laptop navigation solutions. Thanks for the backgrounder.Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598445145507204424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-76552819871974230682014-02-25T16:50:50.999-05:002014-02-25T16:50:50.999-05:00I had the great pleasure of meeting Jeff and Karen...I had the great pleasure of meeting Jeff and Karen and the D's while cruising the Hudson last summer. I have been a staunch supporter and active user of AC for years and it was wonderful to shake their hands and say "thank you." Of course, despite our mutual passion for boats and cruising and marine electronics, Jeff and I spent the majority of our time talking about our children (dogs). It is heartening to have such strong advocates and innovators moving the needle in important ways for enhancing our enjoyment on the water. <br /><br />Oh - and you and I shook hands as well Bill when my boat was in SRQ. You're alright too : )Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348858780826204627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-49873756415250801702014-02-21T10:28:04.734-05:002014-02-21T10:28:04.734-05:00If the Comcast/Time Warner merger goes through, th...If the Comcast/Time Warner merger goes through, that will drastically reduce the diversity of set-top boxes needed to receive marina cable TV, at least near major US population centers. The merger would give them about 80% of the market and there's runors that they will be porting Netflix through their new boxes, as well as some limited a-la-carte options...most marinas could delete 200 chanels without anyone ever even noticing, in my opinion.Karl in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233082722631532086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-14198621544606420992014-02-20T16:19:42.918-05:002014-02-20T16:19:42.918-05:00Great article.
