My comments: Ian, follow the context of the messages on this forum from release of 99 to present. The earlier tone from these discussions was nothing but frustration. Some of us were mad as hell at simple things not working like "INSTALL". There is no reason for mature software to take a 3 year step backwards for simple tasks like copy, select, install, etc. I think the tone of the feedback to follow in the next few months will reflect the same tone that was discussed in 99 early years. Contructive input is years away > > Lets try to make the discussion constructive. Altium do watch this list > and I would guess they would be watching this as one of their prime sources > of feedback. I disagree, This is expensive software. I purchase $49.00 software and complain to store managers if my $49.00 package doesnt work, why shouldnt ALTIUM receive heat from us about not correcting bugs and not meeting our expectations. We are the paying customer. SIMPLE AS THAT If I take ALTIUMS attitude with my customers, I would be out of business. > > We can bag DXP - that is really easy. Can we do the harder stuff of being > constructive? We can bag DXP? I too participated in the BETA program, but unlike some who choose to invest 100 hours debugging a program that wasn't ready for prime time, I looked at for the features I wanted and they weren't there. I evaluated the program for my requirements in less than 5 minutes. PROTEL programs no longer meets my design requirements, simple as that. I would expect the current program is finally ready for Beta testing by all the users who wish to pay for it. I just spent the last several years figuring out how 99SE works, what makes it crash, how not to make it crash and how to get around long compilations that send my computer to PLUTO. I wont spend the same time this time with a program that offers no clear advantage to upgrading. How is that for constructive? I will sit back and read all of the DXP input now Mike Reagan EDSI ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 8F71C4C0EBD99A44A6DCA9CE6224F55C32D84C88 * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
