Jack and Neal, What a great announcement! Thanks Jack for your development and support of a terrific logging program over the years.. I believe my first DXB was about 2002 so I'm excited about the continuation of the product. I was really cringing at the thought of having to migrate over to something new and climb the learning curve summit again. All the best in your future endeavors Jack!
Neal let me be among the many welcoming you to a great program and offer my heartfelt thanks for making possible the continuation of DXB. I am delighted at the prospect of a DXB 2010 in the not too distant future. I have already bookmarked your web site in anticipation of seeing more info about the new DXB! This is like Phoenix rising from the ashes! 73, Gary AL9A ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neal Campbell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: August 21, 2009 11:16 AM Subject: [Dxbase] Hello from the new owner! > Hi everyone, > > I am so proud to be at the helm of DXBase, thanks to Jack for deciding to > give me the opportunity and, of course, establishing such a high level of > professionalism over the years. > > I started out as a DXBase user back in the DOS days and its amazing to see > the growth that has occurred since then.
