Sure would help some of the guys if HB would acknowledge screwups...

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on November 21, 2011, 10:16:02 AM: I have not heard anything yet but than I have not been to any meetings that would have mentioned this for over a month now (vacation, illness and work schedule to blame…).

Post by: Whistler on November 21, 2011, 08:31:14 PM: Ok, please let us know if you hear anything.

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on November 22, 2011, 10:58:48 AM: I will probably not hear anything until it gets released on the Humminbird web site but I will try and post back when that happens – unless someone else beats me to it.
