I can tell you that over the years people complaining about some things on this list have made me aware of significant issues and hepled me stear clear of bugs that would have have been real time sinks. And the more people that are made aware of a problem (without having to find it the hard way) the betetr ... and the more people aware of it that can tell RS that it's important to them, the better the chance for it to get it higher on RSes radar. > also... (and this is a devil's argument) if they genuinely want to > help foster growth in RB, adding to the constant low hum of 'RB is > horrible!' Quite frankly the number of bugs in RB these days as compared to 5.5 deserves to be commented on here IMO. I came in at V3 and was disappointed in the bugs and Xplatform problems and DB issues... Over time things got better (excluding 5.0 is stuff which I did not use) ... but RB200* felt like a significant step backward in bugginess... even if understandable that is awfully frustrating! > the only people reading this list are customers and potential > customers. the fact that every week a list of 'better alternatives' > is posted cant legitimately be seen as the work of a concerned citizen. I only use RB and won't be changing ... I even bought a new PowerMac and a wide screen monitor to use RB200* and not be so frustrated with the performance and way it uses screen real estate. I have been responsible for the purchase of 3 Pro RB licences (one personal Mac one and Mac and Win licences by my employer for my use at work)... That said RB is not the best tool for all situations ... geting RS to make it better and more reliable by by making people aware of and letting them evaluate the competition can be positive. - Karen _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
