- Whooaaa there!!!!
- You are obviously a beta tester from the version no, and you're in a
- completely different situation to the rest of the punters out here. You
- at least have communication. There's even the possibiltity that softlogik
- give you reliable info.

-
- Boy are you gonna get flamed for that statement.
-
- Firstly the issue is not the fixing of bugs, but the implementation of
- basic functionality that has been missing from the start.
-
- Secondly, and I'm not griping here, (I applaud the writers of the program)
- but when I've got a program which actually lets me complete the tutorials
- in the manual without running up against "unimplemented features", then
- that is the time to start considering new features, and not before. I am a
- little peeved that they are spending time writing additions when I haven't
- even got the completed proggy yet.
-
- Thirdly you can hardly say that the public releases are monthly. That is
- a totally false statement.
-
- Fourthly, for free rather depends on whether like me you are lucky enough
- to have free net access. For the rest, it is not free.
-
- There are lots of people unhappy at the PS3 fiasco. I'm ambivalent. It's
- not a business issue for me, but a part time thing I dabble in for now.
- But you posting messages that are smug (and don't try and tell me you
- aren't bragging about the verion number) and wholly incorrect is merely
- going to do harm to an already tender subject.
