    I want to buy an air conditioner, and since I've had good experience with Panasonic units in the past, I am strolling through Panasonic India website. All I see there is marketing bullshit with a lot of nonsensical writing accompanied by stupid pictures of air conditioners sweeping blue coloured air all around it like a swirling hurricane. The contents in their website try hard to convince me how awesome their technology is, and how they've broken new grounds and how they will capture this world with their air conditioners. I want a frockin' button on their website, which would just show me the product specifications and price, for the fact that nothing else matters. But, there's no way to find it. So, I've to remember the model numbers that I'm interested in (like OMGLOL-KA-MEGA-AWSUM-DOUCHE4385) and call up their customer care or a showroom find out the price of each model. No, thanks. So, it's either a Hitachi or Samsung now. They're both equally good as well (Hitachi being slightly better, in fact), and have straightforward, useful information on their websites.

                                  I want to buy an air conditioner, and since I've had good experience with Panasonic units in the past, I am strolling through Panasonic India website. All I see there is marketing bullshit with a lot of nonsensical writing accompanied by stupid pictures of air conditioners sweeping blue coloured air all around it like a swirling hurricane. The contents in their website try hard to convince me how awesome their technology is, and how they've broken new grounds and how they will capture this world with their air conditioners. I want a frockin' button on their website, which would just show me the product specifications and price, for the fact that nothing else matters. But, there's no way to find it. So, I've to remember the model numbers that I'm interested in (like OMGLOL-KA-MEGA-AWSUM-DOUCHE4385) and call up their customer care or a showroom find out the price of each model. No, thanks. So, it's either a Hitachi or Samsung now. They're both equally good as well (Hitachi being slightly better, in fact), and have straightforward, useful information on their websites.

                                      I want to buy an air conditioner, and since I've had good experience with Panasonic units in the past, I am strolling through Panasonic India website. All I see there is marketing bullshit with a lot of nonsensical writing accompanied by stupid pictures of air conditioners sweeping blue coloured air all around it like a swirling hurricane. The contents in their website try hard to convince me how awesome their technology is, and how they've broken new grounds and how they will capture this world with their air conditioners. I want a frockin' button on their website, which would just show me the product specifications and price, for the fact that nothing else matters. But, there's no way to find it. So, I've to remember the model numbers that I'm interested in (like OMGLOL-KA-MEGA-AWSUM-DOUCHE4385) and call up their customer care or a showroom find out the price of each model. No, thanks. So, it's either a Hitachi or Samsung now. They're both equally good as well (Hitachi being slightly better, in fact), and have straightforward, useful information on their websites.

                                      That's precisely what I want from every website. If I have to talk to a salesman, or request a quote from your site, you've lost the sale. Period. If I have time to chat with a pitchman or wait for someone to get around to answering an email RFQ, I wouldn't be shopping on the web, and you have no business being there. I know that prices vary, and I don't expect them to be perfectly accurate, but you'd damned well better show me typical pricing if you want me to spend two seconds on your product page.

                                        I dont care wht you think or what you dont.I publicly apologised to you in the forum,so that still conveys to me tht i am sane. I dont claim to be too good , but i think i have a different view point. we cant manage small simple thing s yet - why go all the way to nuclear fusion? genius doesn't always last,perseverance does.

                                          I can think of a few uses, myself...

                                          Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."
