Robert,

My only comment is that AFAIK most of the OEM Advisories require one of the
chargeable packs e.g. Tuning, Diagnostics etc. How many sites are actually
licensed to use these packs and hence the OEM Advisories? Hence how much page
coverage, in relation to other features, is appropriate for features that most
people SHOULDN'T be using due to licensing.

Just a point for you to consider.

Cheers,

Chris


Quoting Robert Freeman <robertgfreeman@xxxxxxxxx>:


In this new book, I'm considering biasing my coverage to OEM for a few
reasons:

1. OEM is less complex to use.
2. Adding coverage for both will take up many more pages. When you are
writing a book you are limited to a page count range, so depth is limited
based on this too.
3. The Code route, in and of itself, can be complex. I'm not sure if it's
worth the extra time to add the code in some cases just because of this
complexity.

I'm wondering if anyone who has used these features or suspect they will use
them in the future has a preference. In some cases, if page count allows,
I'll do both. In some cases I need to select either/or due to page count
considerations. In the past, I've been very heavily code oriented and really
relegated OEM to the background, but now I'm thinking of moving in the other
direction.

Thoughts??
