Callaway upromx=disappointment

[U of M Fan]

Been waiting all this time for pro mode option and they finally say it's up and ready, wrong!!!! Been on hold with tech support for over an hour and it's been processing on my pc for over an hour as well. What a waste!!! Callaway wasn't ready to launch this device, and it looks like a refund is in order. Tired of the waiting!!!

I'm only mildly disappointed in my uPro (not uPro Go or MX). It runs with Ubuntu via WINE... if it recognizes the uPro first try. If it doesn't, no amount of "retry" gets it -- better unplug and restart the operation. Annoying! I wrote to them about this, and their response was "well, we don't support Ubuntu." Despite that I asked a tech at a demo day, and he said it runs a Ubuntu kernel, and that Callaway should (should, not would, I guess is the difference) support it. It's a mild souring in my mind, but it won't stop me from suggesting the (original) device (if still available), provided someone is using a supported OS. Once a course is on it, though, I like it -- and I just installed most of the courses I'll be playing in the near future, so I'm good for a while. In the worst case, one of my old machines has a Windows partition.
