Is this upgrade anything like the aol instant messenger client quote
upgrade unquote that they put out a while ago?
In the version I was using before the upgrade, I could asign sounds to
*every* event, thereby telling me when someone logged in, logged out,
sent me a message, or when i sent one to them, and since these sounds
could be different for each user, it was a fantastic way to determine who
was sending messages, and who to reply to. After the upgrade, most of
these options were removed, and it was back to a single sound for each
event, and it was no longer able to be done on a per user basis.
Needless to say, I scrapped the upgrade, downloaded the older version,
and haven't bothered to upgrade since.
The same thing happened with the palm reader for windows. Version 1.0
was 100% accessible, and had keyboard shortcuts for every function the
reader cold do. After 1.01 came out, shortcuts were in short supply.
So, I ask you.
What's the point of removing functionality, and calling it an upgrade?
Why is this the common trend, and why do users put up with it?
I've complained bitterly everytime this happened, and I never received a
reply to my emails, but at least I made them aware of it even if they
wouldn't reply.
Why is this the current trend, and what (if anything) can be done to
reverse this behavior?
