The problem as I see it is that "it's all built to a price" and you get what you pay for - the airline and the person who buys a tkt on said airline.
But "serious grunt" is not unafordable these days. If Rockwell or whomever can't get that together it means that the business paying for it is not prepared to pay for a system that is actually going to work. Another symptom of the noughties customer service mantra "We're not happy,till you're not happy"
Just MHO....
Very well said. Working in IT and having a lot of experience with distributed computing, I couldn't agree more. Grunt comes cheap these days, and considering the QF system is based on Windows (I've had the Internet Explorer error page come up before) It's not like it's a custom solution.
Maybe someone should setup opposition to rockwell etc. Sell a superior product at a lower cost, as from what I hear the AVOD solutions out there now are not at all cheap.
Feel like starting a partnership Dazer?
