Geeze, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's junk. And what are the rest of us poor mortals supposed to do when this paragon of brake controllers has bit the big one? Apparently you weren't the one everyone else listened to when it came time to support the superior(?) product.
Personally I think that if it were as much superior as you think it would still be around. But it isn't, so that says something. Some really good products do go away through no fault of their own, but truly superior products generally last. Of course that doesn't explain Fiat or Citroen. :)
