Same here, Shardul 100%. Bought mine at a great price and I love it! So many cool features, but way to easy to do something that can devastate someone.

Hi

I also purchased off Shardul and extremely happy with the full setup he provided me. Sat Diagnostic along with DAS SIM, Star Finder and WIS is a good package to have.

Regads,

True, let me rephrase that.

"It it easy to stumble into a menu you don't understand and change settings that may have ill effects on the car."

That's better..

Thanks Shardul

+1 for Shardul.

I sent him an IBM T30, he set me up with everything I needed. He has offered help as I use it, which I'm sure I'll take him up on at some point. Nice guy!

+1 for Shardul.

But people are still using IBM T30? Shardul helped me get Virtual Machine version. I run it on my Macbook Pro. Runs way faster (instant boot) on SSD machine (even in virtual machine) than native install on ancient IBM machine. Also can use existing laptop without having to have a dedicated system.

Read about other options. To be fair, this is my first experience with SDS, but I think I picked the best option for me. I wanted a dedicated laptop, and was buying one specifically for this purpose. I didn't want to use my everyday laptop for a number of reasons. T30's can be had for around $50-$60. Other options may be faster, but for how often I'll actually use it, T30 will do the job just fine for my needs.
