I just wanted to say a few things myself. First off, this is a great community. No, a Really Great community. You, the users, and especially the users who contributor so freely to this list, are a vital part of the Revolution. I know I'm speaking for everyone in the company when I say we recognise the debt we owe you all. It's a partnership, always has been a partnership, and will continue to be a partnership, even though we're growing so fast that sadly I no longer know all or even most of our users by name... It's inevitable that as Revolution grows, we become less "seat of the pants" and more corporate. However, this has to be a Good Thing. We will have better systems, more staff, faster response times and an end to problems such as the horrendously delayed manual printing (yes, they really are coming, no, they aren't mythical, and yes, I'm very sorry for the incredible delays). Everyone should experience a consistently better level of overall service. Whenever we make big changes, to licensing or support, or interface or whatever, we try very hard to support our existing loyal customer base. We listen to feedback, and though we cannot always give everyone everything they want (especially as this is often contradictory ;)) we pay attention and make the best choices we can in the interests of the most people we can. One thing that is in everyone's interest, is that the Revolution thrives. I'm genuinely happy to say that the future has never looked brighter. We've a great, enthusastic team, a great user base, and a great future. Onward! Heather Taking off customer services manager hat and examining it, then putting it on again.
