The level of Frustration and Anger on this forum is unfortunate.One would have hoped that with the launch of this great PMDG 737, eveyone would be overjoyed.You would not get that impression from reading the majority of posts here. So, maybe, take a break, ligten up, relax for a moment, and see if you still have a sense of hunour. How many forum posts fall into these catagories.

Or the 4 who decide there's something wrong with the wiring because their light bulb works fine and recommend completely reinstalling the light bulb socket.

You left out: 1 to offer an incorrect method to solving the problem of burned out light bulbs, citing himself as an expert because he was once in a room adjacent to where a light bulb was being changed.45 to start additional bewildered threads expressing their frustration that the incorrect method doesn't work to fix the "light bulb bug".90 to remind the bewildered 45 posters to use the forum's search function instead of just offering up a helpful solution.

Did you include at least one that says "just" go out and spend $1000 on a better light bulb socket so your bulb will burn better?

[wanabflyer 53]

Geoff. If you want to post about light bulbs, you have to sign your full name! Loved your post anyway.

[Thomas_Kenobi 0]

That was just brilliant!

[PingPong 60]

Don't forget the guy who says he's abandoning light bulbs all together and going back to torches...
