Sometimes your very excellent GP> program can fail because of lack of excellency somewhere else in GP> the system. But it's not the case here, is it? TB! problems are not located elsewhere, mainly TB! problems are, IMHO, due to radical changes and extreme anxiety to release a final version when major problems are still present. GP> Getting excellency all around becomes a matter of odds. The more I would say, "a matter of careful testing". For instance, VMWare has an excellent product, that surely has bugs, but that are not evident. By the traffic in the list you can see most people complaining about something wrong in some part of TB! and many other people confirming. We're here talking about an email client. GP> components you have working together the more likely it is that GP> one of them will fail. I agree with you. Nevertheless this is an email client. Take a look at VMWare... I never had significant problems with it, in fact I don't think I had problems at all. With TB! I have problems at least once a week. Yesterday I had problems downloading my email. It stalled. I had to abort the task and download it again. In the end I had to kill TB! via task manager because it would refuse to quit due to some unfinished task. This is not convenient and has been reported repeatedly. I'm not trying to bash the product or the company, I use TB! myself and like it a lot but some problems shouldn't see day light (with proper internal testing). It's a must to build an image that everybody associates with quality (like I do with VmWare). -- Best regards, Goncalo Farias Make like, an alligator and drag ass. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.26 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
