Is there a lobby group of users out there to ensure certain basic standards are adhered to? I think this is a quality issue. ISO defines quality as suitability for the job. You dinna buy a Rolls Royce for delivering furniture. Same with software. Unfortunately, I thnk software quality has been degrading through poor programming discipline and sheer uunscrupulous marketing and business practices resulting in closed system engineering. I am all in favour of a good idea, but I find extra mouse clicks a real pain... Shall we form a lobby group?
