Of course you are quite right. So why would they want
to risk upsetting loyal users on this list who have contributed
to the product's success by helping each other and by
offering suggestions to improve the product and even
reporting and finding bugs? Seems very inept to me.
Welcome to the hard cruel corporate world.
Loyal users are already "in the bag".
Most loyal users don't ready care if someone
else gets first crack at buying the latest
version. If you don't like their way, move
on to another product. But if you like Legacy
the best, wait your turn and you will get your
chance at v6.
The fact I didn't attend the BYU Conference
for what ever reason is of no consequence.
The fact I bought versions 4 and 5 is also of
no consequence and does not provides me with
title to version 6.
I am not jealous and certainly do not feel
insulted, just because some lucky soul got
a freebie. They paid with time, effort, and
perhaps money to attend.
As many of the participants in this list have paid
with time and effort to help each other (lowering
support costs for Millenia) and to find bugs and
offer suggestions to improve Legacy as noted above.
It would be nice to be first in line,
but we have no entitlement.
It is an imagined insult only to the very thin skinned.
Then count me among the "very thin skinned". When
Legacy 5 came out they had pre-releases that were available
for download from their web site. The availability of these
downloads was published on this list. The code had timeouts
in it, so it wouldn't work past a certain date. They were free
downloads. People on the list helped find bugs and
offered comments on what they liked an disliked about
new features. I thought that was excellent. I hope that
is repeated for Release 6.
I have met too many "very thin skinned" individuals
and have found them too intolerant and paranoid.
Many seem so very fearful.
I would not be proud to be "very thin skinned".
Be patient. You will get your chance.
