Sky Commander web site down, new version could be coming!
I've been unable to rouse www.skyeng.com for several days now.
Then I found this: http://www.astrosystems.biz/dsc.htm Version 4 of SC will be flash upgradable! Looks like a newly designed box, too! Wonder if there are any other changes that would give Argo Navis a run for its money? Larry Stedman Vestal |

Larry, I don't remember if you're a member of the yahoo Sky Commander group or not but... It was posted there that Victor's host and domain registrar seems to have gone belly-up and he's trying to arrange another host. I believe it was also posted that the new SC's will be carried by several retailers, too. Les |

Les, egg on my face... just discovered that I once was a member of the
SC group... must have dropped when I switched over to AN! In defense of SC, I must say that its direct approach, quick to the objects and moving around is smarter and less bothersome than the multiple nested menu structure of the Tangent boxes and AN (which doesn't allow an easy backspace but rather forces one to exit the current position and start over at the top of the menu tree and drill down again.) OTOH, making selection and drilling is fast and easy on the AN given the thumb dial (which works well even with gloves on unlike the chiclet style buttons on the SC). It'll be interesting to see what SC Flash 4 brings! Larry Stedman Vestal |
