“Miscavige has not released his great new Mark VIII meter … for the same reason he hasn’t released Super Power since 1978, or even completed his empty Super Power cathedral (even though he broke ground in 1998)…”

To me it seems there’s something weirder than simple greed involved here. I’ve read things now and then suggesting that little David has serious, maybe pathological trouble with letting go of something, declaring it Finished (or Good Enough) and sending it out into the world. I’ve read this about relatively trivial projects, pamphlets and the like.

Heaven forfend that we should go all “psych” on David, but to me this suggests some kind of deep-rooted lack of self-confidence, at the very least. Which of course he disguises from himself by casting fault and blame on those around him — those stupid designers or architects or whoever, who can’t get a damn thing right.

Hey, Hey, Hey…. maybe thats extra made a RS-232 port so that you have to buy a Co$-GAT-II-USB-converter. I think it will only cost about $ 1000,– and will be needed to get you approval to audit every year via internet – which cost an extra $ 500,–. Compare it with microsoft-registration. If you become declared SP, your meter probably will stop working. And those ebay-sales of e-meters to evil squirrels can be controlled easily.

LOL!

By Fig. 5E, it has an RS232 serial port for external communications. What’s it going to talk to?? In the 9 years that they’ve been rotting in the box, USB ports now rule and few computers have RS232 ports any longer.

The computer world has moved, and he might as well scrap them or job them off to Fry’s Electronics.

I think I’ve seen the design style before.
