I'll respond here as I've responded to you personally: I'm pushing the issue because I don't have the time to sit and wait for this. And I really liked Tango. Yes, I'm being a jerk about it, but I don't like being jerked around - which is what they are doing. The only reason I got back on the list was that I saw the MacWorld announcement and so I had some hope. The fact is, they showed anybody and everybody at MacWorld - but they won't even show their potential customers.
I really liked Tango - but I've never liked the companies that have kept it because they do jerk their clients around. So yes, I'm frustrated because I'm redoing a lot of my backend web stuff on my site and I'd prefer to use WiTango 5 if its really offers anything useful - but otherwise, I'll do it in something else. Basically, I've decided to kill Tango on my server if they can't get their butt in gear. And that really kills me because I have a few very loyal customers who pay for Tango access. I'm not going to pay $2k+ for what was SP2 of T2k. I'll also add that in this case - they are close to a public beta or release. They better know their feature list. And again, they talked about T5 to the MacWorld attendees - why not us? Another reason I'm frustrated and ranting is that I moved on when Tango went down and moved to greener pastures - and then I come back and its like a time machine. NOTHING has changed. That's unbelievably frustrating because I really liked Tango, but its like running Windows 3.1 in today's day and age. -- Alex Kac, CEO/Developer Innovation in Personal and Business Information Management http://www.pocketinformant.com/ zoomzoom > From: Robert Sfeir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 17:40:45 -0400 > To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Witangov5 ??
