			<description><![CDATA[I've been on OT7 now a while and when the Mk 8 came out Flag had this big push to sell everyone an 8. The Mk 7 was suddenly "old hat". It was insinuated one couldn't finish OT 7 without a new MK8 as one now had to do an "upgrade" Solo course which could only be done with the new MK8-(which you personally owned! I understand that criteria has since been dropped.) Suddenly the 7s went from "OK as a backup" to "we won't silver cert them after Nov. 2014. Needless to say, "Me thinks I protested to much" but I did escape my last refresher without purchasing one although I had to take on half the Org. to do it! So I got back to L.A. and ran into the same hard sell. Some nice guy from Pubs. or whatever it's called now even lent me one for a month. I'm a trained auditor out of the old days but with almost 0 hours in the chair. My sum total experience has been Soloing. The 8 is noticeably different but I couldn't say better. The needle doesn't "wander" as much. It seems to read, F/N, or just sit there. I have to use wrist straps, always an issue, but with the 8 more so. Sometimes I would get ticks exactly matching my heart beat both on cans and straps with a proper sensitivity set. The F/Ns seemed to be slower than I was accustomed to seeing but other than that I just couldn't tell a difference. Now that could just be me so I talked to a staff member who has been on the level along time and has use of an 8 all day when auditing others. Response, "Well yea I like it. It's like this. I got a Toyota and it gets me where I need to go in auditing. I'm not buying a Maserati." That person recently completed 7 so I guess it is now a mute point to them. So there is one man's opinion. At Flag I heard mixed reviews from others on OT7. One thought it was, "absolutely saving my bacon on the level", 3 thought it would make a noticeable difference, 8-10 couldn't tell a difference. In 3 weeks I will no doubt get to revisit the subject on my upcoming refresher. I've noticed being right doesn't necessarily mean you win. Let you know how it turns out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just one correction and clarification. I wrote the original issue on silver certing. It was an excuse to recall thousands of meters that contained substandard components. Given the quality of meter components at that time silver certing was needed in my opinion. Also to answer RJ,I use a much lighter needle than the CofS in my meters and they show F/Ns much more clearly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The following is a fact, observable by hundreds of hours of being audited and also delivering auditing : The new E meters have a LOUSY distraction in that the e - meter "Shield" is a joke. It barely shields anything. The PC can and does see a great many things that end up being an obvious distraction. (I would, with no effort at all, see at least half of what the auditor wrote in the worksheets, what color of pen, if a read was marked or not, if my words were written down, etc.) I percieve it to be a nifty preppy item that DM himself came up with. Just take off the little cover and use it as a "shield". Can't even put a book on it(for PC viewing a reference) without it falling off. What a joke !!! Let's PLEEEEEESE get back to the original wide wooden shield that really was a shield, and the auditor could use to also show several references to the PC on. It does not take a rocket scientist to see what I'm saying here. Just someone with a little experience, and who is not a robot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It’s all about the money. I wonder how it will be explained to the current GAOT auditors that these new meters have been available for many years now but withheld from them because the marketing time wasn’t right. For the few maybe this will help them to see the light (finally), for the others it will be just another (you name it) age of tech. (my guess it would be marketed as a new High Definition Meter)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For me the big fat problem here is Miscavige is insisting people use the closed top cans knowing it creates false TA for the last 8 years. I assume the open-top cans were developed in 2002 along with the rest of it. "3) Give it at least ten times the precision of the current E-Meter as far as the reads and F/Ns are concerned." What does that actually mean? It's a needle on the same old dial. 1/10th of the instant reads were caught by auditors before this or what? Seems impossible. Is this something different than sensitivity setting? How different could the needle possibly look like with this new setup? Maybe there's lots more to it if people at Int love it but then where's it been all this time, on an 8 year pilot? Also this read playback option doesn't seem like it'd be a good thing. If you provide a permanent crutch it makes it so skill level doesn't have to come up to par, and playing it back in session takes attention off the pc. I doubt Class VIII's and LRH have had a handicap this whole time is all. They never needed playback. I'm guessing playback is to confirm same-sized-read?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually some auditors I've talked to including myself prefer the Mk VI or even the V over the VII and Quantum which both have problems with the needle itself not having enough weight and therefore momentum to sustain an F/N for any length of time. Also they are severely affected by static discharge from the glass over the dial that they "audit" themselves and continue to give a false R/S even when unplugged! (I believe Ron talks about having a meter that can be too sensitive in the original E-meter books) Personally, I can't imagine the Mk Ultra (how appropiate, for what the Church has become!) being that much of an improvement over the original wheatstone bridge design. First, you want a meter that is rugged and works well under any operating circumstances. Secondly, it has to be portable. Thirdly and most importantly it has to measure the mental responses of the preclear and not the electromagnetic fluctuations of the next Galaxy! Also $4000.00 for all of this is just way too much money! Even at just under a grand is way too much! Especially when you can get an automotive voltmeter which if tuned up can do basically the same thing for under 200 bucks! Which I'm sure is the last thing Miscavige's enthralled and entranced public who seem to be hung up on the "newest and the latest" would like to read. Me I'll stick with what works and my Mk VI works fine for me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's funny that non Scientologists often can spot the profitability factor way before Scientologists. I guess that's because they are extroverted from the church and the ka-ching can be heard clearly as you drive by the orgs. The whole preservation of the tech project is [censored]enomenal! I went on the tour during an APS convention and was completely blown out. Just curious...who funded that?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I first came across the Mark VIII in 2007: [censored]://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Se crets/E-Meter/index.html Here's another curious piece of e-meter history (warning--colorful language): [censored]://www.gerryarmstrong.org /50grand/cult/usenet/ars-cl-2003-01 -23.html It seems that for twenty years (1981-2001), Frank Zurn, one-time President of Applied Scholastics and self-proclaimed Nazi*, was the assignee on an e-meter patent. I wonder why. [*That's what he once said to me. Frank was the guy who wrote and enforced the non-LRH policy that extorted 10% of your GI if you were a Scio running a private school. Pay or no bridge was Frank's way.] Look for Davy's new Ultra coming soon to an event near you. $5K, IAS.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am sad to know that the e-meters were 4 x overcharged. I had met people from Spain who were auditing, and could not afford the e-meter certification. I had to let them use mine. This proves that money is above every thing. If there was really an intention to clear the planet, the e-meter would have an realistic price based on costs to produce it.]]></description>
