Ha, but I don't pretend to sell any Bausie/coffee stuff. Provident claims to
sell "a full range of products".... ;-)

I'm not sure about that. I am about to finish a deal with one of the major
marine electronics manufacturers. Good for a 10-fold increase in sold
units....

haven't looked at the site, but anyone using matt's scripts is just begging
to have their server owned... monkeys com (from memory) had an insightful
and robust treatise on matt's scripts and scripting ability some years ago.

Why is your XL3 chart the same price as XL. My unit can only use
Navionics XL classic with the stupid cartridge, I feel begrudged
having to spend twice the cash to get the same coverage as XL3.

Is this correct.

Thanks for the Tips.

Currently we do not have a dealership for Raymarine Products - We are
working on it though.

In the meantime I will go about getting the frommail fixed - thanks
for the advice.

Hi Jools,

The XL charts are the same price as XL3 because this is the way
Navionics price them - strange I know - I even queried it with them
when I got the pricelist origionally - but thats' just the way it if,
Thanks for the feedback.

More precisely, it's because a small number of English people still
dream that they are an imperial power. For the rest of us in the United
Kingdom, we've been using a foreign currency controlled by a foreign
central bank for three hundred years and it hasn't done us any harm.
And frankly given the choice I think many of us would rather roll over
and have our tummies tickled by continental europeans than by the
English.

It's also completely non essential since most web services now include PHP
scripting who'se mail() function is pure simplicity in it's own right.
