the important stuff.


What exactly is crappy-ass about Bluetooth? We have a Bluetooth enabled
multiplexer and it works very well, just as reliable as a wire as long as
you are within the radio range.Even pilots are changing to Bluetooth
connections between the pilot-plug and their laptops, which enables them to
go anywhere on the ships' bridge.
