I completely agree with your stance and sentiments. On 26 Jan 2008, at

Well, while I am sorry for the people who lost their jobs, I'm going to
take a wait and see attitude here. It would be great if the change
improved the hardware and software development environment for these
Humanware note takers. I can say that I was less than impressed with the
last several software upgrades due to lots of bugs I thought should have
been caught in beta. If the change allows a better development team
approach to get out less buggy updates and future hardware improvements
like user replaceable batteries, etc., then I am all for the change. I
would also like to see a built in ethernet port and wifi connectivity in
the next hardware update so we don't find ourselves out of luck trying
to find discontinued external supported cards to give us these
functions. If, on the other hand, things get worse, then we all know
where the exit door is. Having said that though, I have to tell you that
I have used several note taker devices from different manufacturers and
found none of them even close to perfect. I keep thinking that given
enough time, they will be able to give us a solid reliable product that
doesn't eat our files or corrupt our data bases at the worst possible
times but nobody has hit that target yet, in my opinion. Maybe part of
the problem is Windows CE itself. I just don't know but keep hoping for
my dream machine to some day arrive bug free. Now, back to reality!
