                          </div>
                          <div>I will say that their tech support guy
                            did at least try to be helpful, but the
                            language barrier was really really steep and
                            their distribution channels are less than
                            ideal.  Their response to a request for
                            compensation was that they would not be
                            profitable if they had to pay for truck
                            rolls for such a low cost item.  I really
                            don\u2019t think they GET IT.  We\u2019ve been in
                            business for over 16yrs and this one failure
                            could easily have ended that run.</div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>I cannot imagine we\u2019re alone here.  I was
                            told by AP that their failure rate was 0.2%.
                            Now, I come from a reliability engineering
                            background in petro chemical/ big pharma
                            where a 0.2% failure rate would be
                            catastrophic.  Can you imagine that 2 out of
                            every 1000 pills made could cause death?  We
                            engineered secondary systems and multiple
                            quality checks to contain catastrophic
                            consequences for components that had know
                            failure rates higher than acceptable
                            values.  A simple solution to this fire
                            initiation issue would be a metal enclosure
                            instead of plastic casing.  That still
                            doesn\u2019t really solve the problem of extra
                            connections though.<br>
