- and other notes i have read on here....hell prolly posted half of them
- myself, well I just want to add
- my own newtek experience here...btw any who have followed any of my other
- posts know that I am anything but a Newtek lackey....
-
-
- Before upgrading my system, I of course was under deadline pressure as are
- all of us and desperate for a solution..called newtek and talked to tech
- support...and was told " oh hell ya intel lightwave will work on an
- alpha...nt is nt"...well u can all see whats coming now..against the advice
- from the newsgroup and most of you(btw never to make that mistake again)...I
- bought the intel alpha and used a buds pentium to get my project done..and
- ordered my alpha with the cash from the project...all the while thinking i
- could get it and go....hmm no 386 emulation in my alpha..hmm intel lw wont
- install ...hmm now I am screwed..call up newtek...
-
- long story short it was admittedly a bad tek call.. newtek was training new
- people to handle the strain and someone screwed up...after talking to some
- of the people there(If your reading this you know who you are and again
- thanks) who's names i shall not mention due to not wanting them to be
- swamped from this post...We worked together to make a deal that would have
- me pay the difference in $$$(due to the deskstation deal) and swapped out to
- prerelease alpha...saved..er not quite..no glow etc...well according to the
- credit card i have been billed and the final is supposedly in shipping my
- way...this said and still deadlines and much needed toys not there i have
- come across a newer version of the prerelease but not final that will use
- the plugins and has glow ..restrictive ik ..Powerview..center..etc....the
- tools that we all need to survive in this industry and keep lightwave
- native..having paid my liscence and knowing that stuart and allen et al are
- recieving their fair chunk of dosh for coding this beauty its there..this
- said I am really disheartened that one would have to resort to such tactics
- to keep running....hopefully someone in higher places will realize someday
- that not just the "in crowd" is putting this package through its paces and
- that the feedback they can get from the types of people who frequent this
- list, admittedly not a lot of people are cut out to beta software nor is
- selling beta packages to the masses a wise marketing ploy...BUT if their is
- a build and someone has paid their cash to say...i want to run the newest
- build of this package..flawed or not by purchasing pre release..then i think
- its only fair they have at least the same kind of access to the new builds
- that some of the "in-crowd" recieve..

- just my new years ramble..
