It's funny, OT happens so often around here. And then when it's convenient one will get moderated and warned not to do it. Then if one ever tells someone else they are OT they will get moderated and told to stop policing....
Anyways if someone wants to cut the OP key man pricing on any of those cool computers, send it to me first and I'll try it out.
Otherwise I'd suggest keeping it real with regard to the OP's price range.

If OLED is the thing and your in no rush, may want to see what xDeep will cost for the OLED PDC they are making. Their goal is to have the Bottom Timer in the $350 range, and guess you can get software upgrades to it.

Vaporware?
Well the timer seems to exist…

Well, I just got this sanctimonious little love note in my In Box and thought I'd share since it relates to my posts in this thread.
First off, he's right: with tax, a Lynx and transmitter may actually be more than $1500. But seriously, this is a general post offering ballpark numbers-- and I think it was fair when I assumed the only reason anyone would buy a Lynx would involve the features that require you to buy a transmitter to use. Huge disinformation there.
Second, I didn't mean to imply the Lynx has had battery issues. The Lynx was vaporware for so many months, with blown release date after blown release date, that it hasn't been in the wild long enough to develop any issues I'm aware of.
I was assuming (wrongly, from what I can tell from Liquivision's less than easy to navigate website...see below) that the Lynx and the Xeo used the same oddball batteries. But no! The Xeo, which has long had battery issues, started off using a totally different weirdass lithium cell from the Lynx. Now the Xeo uses the same weirdass lithium cell as the Lynx, as long as it's new enough and/or you've paid a fair bit of money for them to fix the battery issue your early Xeo had (see below). So to be clear, as I wouldn't want to spread any disinformation, the Lynx also uses some oddball battery...just not the ones that have given a number of Xeo users such headaches. So, if you have a Lynx and a Xeo, you can buy batteries twice...maybe, unless you have a new Xeo or want to pay Liquivision to fix their shoddy design. Regardless, the Lynx doesn't use that same problem cell. Hooray!
Or you could get a Petrel and use almost any AA battery under the sun. Not to mention that when Shearwater Predators had battery issues, kits to fix the issue went out fast, free, and without any fuss over whether they'd promised buyers they'd fix battery issues caused by suboptimal design.
Fattah, it's attitude like what's reflected in your blowhard message to me that keeps Liquivision doing so
ing poorly in the customer service department. Take your concerns about "disinformation" and stuff them.
