I make that at least 10:1 in favour of we love flex, no matter how long it takes...hi
But I would like to thank David, a few years ago he brought his Flex into our club and did a talk on SDR / Flex radio and blew most of our minds... a proper evangelist. That is what started me on Flex, and long may it continue. I'm sure Gerald et al would sooner get on with the business at hand, so let's leave this subject on a positive note, "We will wait till it's ready and if we can help we will p.s. Thanks in advance for our free new radios" 73 all Steve G6HOQ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 24 May 2010 02:20 To: 'Flexedge' Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Announcements Well said Mike. 73 Wayne K4ELO On Sun, 23 May 2010 20:15 -0500, "W5CUL" <[email protected]> wrote: > If I was a paying customer whose sole business dependent upon every > release of software that goes GA to meet advertised dates, I could see > your point. > And believe me when I say I HAMMER vendors for not making their > advertised dates for anomaly resolutions and new feature sets in my > line of work because that definitely affects my BUSINESS.
