Sorry, I've been at work for 14 hours today, and the same for most of the last two weeks. I'm not getting into this thread again, I've said everything I have to offer on the subject. There aren't enough hours in the day to debate this one.

In conclusion, I think we're exceptionally responsive to client requests and suggestions, but just like any manufacturer it's our job to decide the final specification. We think we've approached this issue in a legally responsible way, and we think we've gone to some effort to reach an acceptable compromise. If holding the button is too much effort for you, well, then that's a problem you have to live with (or abandon empeg I guess). If you buy a Clarion, or an Alpine, or other multimedia head unit (almost all of them have a similar "safety feature") I hope you'll be as vocal in complaining to their CTO, head of operations, or chief programmer.

I guarantee this is my last post on this issue!
