He doesn't have to be staring at the screen all night to notice you....LIKE RADAR. Larry -- A good radar has a range alarm as well Larry. The whole point otmbrd is making is that all are just tools for you and your lookouts. Now if a ship load of retards are sleeping, not maintaining a proper lookout, not applying the tools properly.... then none of it matters. Nadda...zip it's just high dollar usless ****. Thats all we need......another law to sell products that you do not really need IMO. Joe |
