When Dr. Nitschke says "Our European customers have understood that" it seems like he's saying European customers have moved past the "Real Men drive MT" image/complex and thus, have been more receptive to the new technology. Americans can be silly sometimes!

Once again i hope nobody that truly likes the feel of driving MT doesn't get offended by my post. Once again, even those people cant deny that some people have a complex associated with being able to drive MT, which isn't even hard in the first place. I learned in 1 hour!

Absolutely agree on that.
