Thank you for your reply. Your 'step-by-step instruction' above is what's sorely missing from your download partner's process. Its inclusion would certainly have 'dummy-proofed' it for.. well... an apparent 'dummy' like me... And if something similar to your instruction does exist there? Well, I... uh... certainly did not see it. Moreover, if I'm the only person to have had this happen and say something public about it, then so be it. It seems to me a relatively simple 'if-you-want to-do-this-then-do-this' matrix would have done the job... Ultimately, though, I'm not one to blame anyone for anything -- this is all on me and I fully accept responsibility for my actions; however, I walk away from this simply shaking my head. While challenging to achieve, I think simplicity and intuitiveness are elegant and worthy goals in process design. Sadly, as I have witnessed first-hand in this experience, both of them, unfortunately, are absent. ~ B

I just purchased the X-Plane versions of the GTN750 and GTN650 expecting to be able to take advantage of the current sale -- as detailed below: Special Sale: 30% discount on all editions of Reality XP GTN Touch. Offer valid until June 30, 2020 *Bundle Sale: 50% discount only for products in the same simulator collections: GTN 750+650 Fltsim, GTN 750+650 XPlane. After downloading the e-commerce installer, select the 'Coupon' button on the payment screen and use the 'cpn' file located within the zip using the coupon download link above. If you have used the coupon correctly, the price will automatically adjust before you click the purchase button. Keeping this short, I attached what I thought was the right .cpn [rxp-add-750-to-650-xplane.cpn | file date = 06-Jan-20] when prompted, only to discover afterwards it wasn't accepted for some unknown-to-me reason. So, I wound up paying full purchase price for each unit instead of the discounted pricing -- $49.95 instead of $35.00 for the GTN750 and $49.95 instead of $24.95 for the GTN650. I think of myself as being reasonably competent in following instructions, but this... well... this has left me dismayed, disappointed and frustrated. What did I do wrong? And how might I go about receiving the advertised discount? Thanks! ~ B

An engaging thread... I'm somewhat surprised, though, George Carlin hasn't been mentioned yet. As far as the English language goes, I think he was one of the best at exploring its... well... quirks. Here's a link to an article referencing some of his thoughts about 'soft language' and some of those quirks: https://www.thoughtco.com/soft-language-euphemism-1692111

Like a lot of issues facing us these days, I find it genuinely challenging to locate any real, irrefutable truth surrounding this outbreak. It seems there are opinions everywhere, some apparently factual and some... well... some of which are not as much so. I wouldn't know -- but -- it just sounds like a lot of noise to me at the moment. A calm and reasoned place situated between panic/fear mongering and the findings of medical research is where I seek to be, though for now, I'm just going to have to keep looking for that place...
