jtdiii, if I'm not mistaken, the PR from APS and EDIG was issued in late October of 2002, which is at least a month AFTER the convention you cite. Has it crossed your mind that APS may not have had anything worthy of display at said convention, given that their previous stock in trade was cargo loader bumpers, cockpit door barriers, etc. (somehow I don't see those as being a big draw at an IFE expo). And while I'm on the subject, where do you suppose a poor ramp attendant found the spare change to fund a private corporation, website, and the sundry other obligatory accoutrements needed to market (or license for manufacture) the aforesaid products? Get real; the poor dude is grossing $30K a year or less at AA. Does the term 'silent partner' seem appropriate in this case? Or did some AA VP just feel charitable enough to hook said ramp attendant up with all those accoutrements. Since APS is a private company, that info just isn't out there for us to peruse. At this point, ya gotta go with instincts.
Always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.
