Post Subject: The Various Ways to Play It (Honestly)Posted by Paul S on: 2/15/2009

Yep, I am frustrated with APS, all right, since they seem to be in a perfect position to actually get this under control, once and for all; yet... Meanwhile, I have been through enough of the "money back guarantees" that I no longer relish that game, and particularly in this case. Why? If you think about it, it speaks volumes that 2 out of, say, 5 people just reported "problems". Or was it 2 out of 6? I mean, come on... Assuming these folks are fuzzy about what sounds good, still, one can't turn that on its head to say they don't recognize problems, especially considering APS's track record.

Of course I understand that sooner or later I will have to cough up the coin and get out on the (taxi) dance floor again. I am simply trying to understand what I can via due diligence/reconnaissance, to increase my chances of success before I'm stuck in The Embrace of it (again). My present schedule and budget both currently leave less room for shenanigans than I might have done a year or so back, and either could serve alone as an excuse for preliminary caution.

And there are no good reasons to try all imaginable power devices, since it is clear enough by now that most are conceptually flawed, right out of the gate. Yes, I have joked here about trying some of the krank gear, purely out of frustration; but I hope everyone realized I was (mostly) kidding.

I have also identified another possibility, which I will discuss, apropos, if and when I have more to say about it.

Best regards,
Paul S
