My suspicion is elevated by the fact that they haven't had a product release in years and their website never seems to receive updates. That may indicate a lack of funding for development, laziness or cutbacks depending on the situation. Personally I stick with the mainstream candidates which have a chance of being around tomorrow. -----Original Message----- From: owner-avionics-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-avionics-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Sully Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 11:17 PM Subject: Avionics-List: Blue Mountain EFIS I wanted to find out if anyone has recent experience with performance and support from Blue Mountain. I have an opportunity to buy an EFIS/One from someone who hasn't been satisfied, but most of the negative posts I've seen seem to be several months old. Any current info will appreciated.

I deal with all these companies directly not through third parties. Blue Mountain out of the list above is a 0 out of 10. Out of the list they are the worst by far, both in product and customer support.

Capen" Subject: Avionics-List: Removing D-Sub sockets Fellow tronners.... Is there a trick to removing D-Sub sockets from the connector? I have the tool from radio shack (I have actually destroyed three of them) for the standard sockets. My trouble is that I can't get the tool to go past the base of the pin to where it would release the 'holding' fingers in the connector assembly. It has to be either the tool or my gorilla fisted technique..... every once in a while, I can wiggle while holding my tongue right, and it'll go in to allow me to extract the socket. I have two sockets remaining - I need to get a new tool - is there a better one?

They are pretty fragile, so ordered two. I have found that removing the tool and moving it 180 degrees to the other side of the wire sometimes helps, as does some wiggling as you found out. Sometimes, one is simply able to rotate the tool 180 degrees alongside the wire while it remains in the socket. Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph E.
