I'm forwarding the following message from Peggy which is in reply to Dominic's earlier post concerning KeySoft 8.
If others wish to comment on this thread please use my message when replying and NOT Dominic's original message. The reason for this is that the total size of Dominic's original message is close to exceeding the limit accepted by the list mailing system. This was caused by the fact that Dominic included the list digest as part of his message. If you reply to Dominic's original message the messages will be discarded by the mail list. Thanks Maurice Sloane HumanWare Thanks for the update, Dominic. I think the frustration, for me at least, is not so much the delay, but the total silence on HumanWare's part. I'd rather hear more frequent "we're still testing and fine tuning" updates than dead silence. It seems like HumanWare only responds when 456 people start grumbling and saying we're frustrated, and then we get a message like yours. I would rather have a message like yours posted on its own, and not as a response to a bunch of people feeling frustrated. Just expressing my feelings and giving feedback, and in no way meaning this as an attack. Peggy <who loves her BrailleNote, but is very disappointed at the total silence of Humanware about anything BrailleNote-related> http://kernsac.livejournal.com http://facebook.com/kernsac ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominic Gagliano" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 9:33 AM Subject: [Braillenote] KeySoft 8 update I read that everyone is anxious to know the status and also read a lot of frustrations. KeySoft 8 is in its final beta testing and being prepared for release very, soon. There is a risk in providing an exact release date if the software is not completely tested and our only position is to meet due dates which has happened in the past. We now insist that we follow thru on the complete testing process and release once R&D have given approval. There is a good deal of speculation on features for KeySoft 8. These have already been established and posted on this list as well as our website. This upgrade will not include an upgrade to Windows CE. http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/about_us/press_releases/2009_press_relea ses/unveiling_keysoft_8 SMA's provide for two future upgrades without any specific time frame. If you prefer to not invest in future upgrades, then you can purchase single upgrades at additional cost. SMA purchases help fund the cost for engineering to produce software upgrades. I thank those on the list that have been patient and have attempted to explain to those others that in the end we all want a stable reliable release.
