- Erik Naggum has spent several lines here flaming someone who has made
- considerable contributions to the HP48 community and I, for one,
- appreciate all he has done, dispite a crash here and there. I believe
- most of the software available over this net carries with it the
- disclaimer, either written or implied, that warns you to use at your own
- risk. Noone posts software here to intentionally crash other people's
- machine's. On the contrary, software is posted because:
-
- - The auther is proud of his accomplishment
-
- - The author wants others to benefit from his work
-
- - Some authors want a few bucks (or DM)
-
- - The author would like feedback to further improve his program
-
- If Erik Naggum doesn't want to use programs from certain individuals,
- that's his right. But, his attitude and practice of ridiculing someone
- who has made a good effort to provide us all with useful tools is not
- conducive to further development of HP48 programs.
-
- How about something constructive, Erik?
-
- Sincerely,
-
