I see this as a marriage of sorts - we have bought into their system with time and money - so to some extent we have a shared destiny. If RB goes under, we are screwed. If RB prosperes, then they will continue to develop and get a bigger market share and more credibility in the business which will help us. So I am hoping for thier success. I often feel frustrated with the new bugs that crop up, the old bugs that are not fixed, and new features which are not useful. I personally would not mind spending $500 a year IF they fixed things, improved the documentation, implemented the server db, etc. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/>
