I'd say significantly. If you like statistics, the contribution
was 50%.
Of course, the engineers and programmers contributed the other 50%
What good is a superbly engineered product nobody likes?
Like the "anatomically perfect" car seats Daimler Benz used to make.
The users were happy and enthusiastic and wanted to wring the maximum
performance out of eDesk 2.4.
I remember when Erik Ratcliffe and Marcus Meissner were active list
members.
I would like to think that they participated because of the professional
pride they had in their "baby"
and enjoyed talking to the people who used, and appreciated, their
work.
