That's certainly very sensible, and as I experience more and more the use of various pieces of adaptive technology, I have come to the same conclusion: that it is better to wait before buying.
However, if we all waited, and nobody bought the upgrades until all bugs had been ironed out, we wouldn't know about them; that is, if what someone said about certain things not showing up during beta testing is true. I'm just trying to smooth some ruffled feathers. If people can't air their frustrations on a list where other people have had similar experiences, where else can they obtain some moral support? Perhaps HumanWare can't or won't refund money; perhaps we should all wait; but can't we just show a bit of compassion to a frustrated user? And is it necessary to make snide comments like "Sour grapes!" I believe that goes against list etiquette. If people want to send those kind of messages, send them off-list. Better still, give the person a break and don't send them at all. Sorry if I'm getting on my high-horse but one of my pet hates is bitching on lists. As one of my friends pointed out to another list, it's okay for us to sit at a keyboard and jot out an inflammatory message, but we don't know how it will effect someone at the other end, especially since there is no vocal expression to go with it. Yes, we do need to grow up, but that also means, not sending inflammatory responses to frustrated users who choose to subscribe to this list. Cheers!

That's why when a new product or upgrade comes out, I wait until the feeding frenzy and the griping comes to an end, then I order the program or the upgrade. Maybe that's why I haven't experienced many of the problems that I read about on these lists.
