Hi David,
When caught in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. I thought
that your attack on Medical Director was bad taste and unjustified,
every product in the market has got strength and weaknesses, so does
yours, and ours. A dose of humility rather than obstinate arrogance
might do wonders for your future product development, if you listen,
people might actually give you ideas on how to improve it, and that's
the whole point of this discussions.
So maybe its time for you to stop digging a bigger hole and reconsider,
there is no need to insult or belittle other people, collegues,
competitors, their work and their products. We are all here to share
knowledge, experience and ideas, not to blow your own trumpet at
somebody else's expense. Sometimes we don't like what people say to us,
in my experience, these are the most valuable nuggets to learn from.
For your information, we do not have any shareholding, commercial
arrangement, interest or association with MD/HCN. Its all about the way
we think and our company values.

You have chosen, unlike 95%+ of the rest of the world, to exclude yourself
from some marvelous software - you will be the loser.
It smacks back to the totalitarian attitudes that one person is right
despite the market. They tried to kill off the Jews in the 30s because they
thought they were superior, we now have another mob killing others because
they are right and the majority is wrong about what they can or cannot do
and watch.
You vehemently hate what the free market has decided is suitable for it.
We will, when we have time and funds, address Firefox/Mozillza issues in a
rewrite but when we were writing our stuff in 2001, Mozilla did not have the
capacity to handle the XML in the way we want to. So it is not entirely our
fault. It is not a priority for us until a group of enthusiasts tell us that
they are really interested in our modifying the way we do things and are
prepared to pay their estimates of 6 months use in advance, as a gesture of
good will and their preparedness to use it, all other things being equal.
Then of course there is the issue that you would never use it anyway, nor
would all these protagonists because they are more interested in playing
than in excellent software.

No, we just have to deal with 'tyre kickers' like Horst who is far to pure

Again, the vast majority of our clients are not too worried.
The whole purpose of a web app like yours is that you can access it from any
standards compliant browser
The way you have created it, it is just another client-server app with a
proprietary client, just one which happens to be installed by default on
moist Windows machines already. You have forfeited all the benefits of a
real
web app.
I actually can't use it even if I would like to, because you have locked me
out by enforcing the use of IE 5.5 which I don't have
The huge popularity of Firefox btw shows that I am not the only one
concerned
about the security issues of IE 5.5 and the drift away from public standards
that goes with it.
We had that discussion that many times before, so I think it is pointless to
discuss this issue any further
Horst
