I didn't mean for my comment to come off as being snide but perhaps some of us see a pattern. After 4 business days during which we saw 50 posts to the list, the last 24 hours has been pretty much silent. If I remember correctly, this is identical to how things were a year ago when this hit the surface. There was a flurry of "Where's Phil" posts, Phil came on, responded, and the matter crawled back under the carpet again. I understand that Phil needs to pay the bills, etc. and that Witango probably wasn't doing that for him. So the project has been moved away from the front burner. In the past there have been comments about the fact that With has now owned the Tango/Witango product longer than EveryWare/Pervasive did. But if you remember correctly, when Pervasive shelved Tango, they were upfront. No further development, etc. Many of us hoped for a white knight to appear and I know that I am grateful that Phil did step up. But we were only about a year in limbo then and that was for a product that had been announced as dead. We've waited over 2 years now for version 6 to be released. There has been no mention that it has died. People have offered their support, and nothing was said to them. Not even a "Thank you but I've got it covered". I'd love to give With $2000-3000 for a new Witango Studio and Server but judging by the comments about the lack of email response, from emails sent directly to the company, would I be wise in doing so? Phil, before the summer hits for you, perhaps you could take some time to figure out where all of this is heading. Before we lose another 2-3 months to vacations, etc., accept the Witango community's offer to assist you. As someone who just missed the birth but was there when Tango was still a free add-on to Butler shipping on floppy disks, I'd hate to see the product die. Steve, you know me. I also hate it to see if pruducts die. And I have see a lot. (NEON LANsurveyor, etc.) I Don't know, how much sells of Witango was done outside Europe, I know only, that I have sell a lot. regards Daniel Richardy Steve Smith Oakbridge Information Solutions Oakville Office: (416) 628-0793 Cambridge Office: (519) 489-0142 Email: [email protected] Web: www.oakbridge.ca Certified DayLite Master Partner FileMaker Solutions Alliance Member MoneyWorks Consultant LightSpeed Authorized Reseller On 2009-09-24, at 4:08 PM, Stefan Gonick wrote: I don't think that snide comments are helpful. I understand that they are coming from a place of frustration. Phil, I know that you are not a communicator, but it would really be helpful if you could respond one more time before being out of touch for another lengthy period. Just be honest with us instead of non-responsive. We want more news about version 6. If all you can say is that you're working on it but can't give us an estimate as to when it will be done, that would at least be respecting us by giving a response. Please.
