Did someone say there was a Recession in USA?įrom where I sit I think the shipping ports in USA are 90% incoming from China and 10% outgoing from USA. Such a simple situation, yet controlled by some University educated engineer who has a degree but no common sense.
Cat indicated in their opinion that it would encourage Piracy and it looks like they were right. I read a letter from CAT USA some years back and they didn�t want to go to annual Licensing either but the dealers insisted.
Joe Blow the mechanic He surfs the Internet and buys not only the Communication Adaptor from China but the Software with a higher access level than the CAT dealers have!!!Īnd at ½ the price I might add! The way I see it Cat in USA not only lost the $$$$ from the Hardware and software sales they now have no control on the user level and Mr Joe Blow the Mechanic can do more than the Dealer technicians as he has a Higher level. However as they don�t sell ET or the Communication adaptors to Mr. But they feel Mr Joe Blow the Mechanic will take work and ultimately $$$ money from the CAT Dealers. I have a problem with this and it�s NOT Cat but the dealers as they drive it!! The problem is if they sell it to Mr Joe Blow the Mechanic they get the $$$ and they get to set his Access level so they have some control.
