dennis stands accused of saying: > > What you have now is a release that was supposed to be a "great > saviour" feature-wise that is fundamentally unusable in its released > form for a large number of users..... Because, as has been observed beforehand, this "large number" of users were either too timid, too indifferent, or too _stupid_ to participate in the testing process. I sure as hell don't recall any observations on your part on 2.2 during the prerelease testing on this or a number of other points you've subsequently griped about; I would suggest that you could probably have justified spending just a few hours a couple of times installing and testing the various fully-bundled prerelease snapshots and feeding back on your woes. If you, and a few other serious, "production" users had just _thought_ahead_ a little, 2.2 would have been less of a debacle than it has currently turned out to be. Without that sort of input _before_ the final release is rolled, it's _not_ going to be possible to make you happy. Ever. And that would be Bad. > Dennis -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
