Go up one level in this thread


I have followed Bob's suggestion here - I vote with my money.  Although
I buy almost everything available, I have stopped buying DOS-based
programs.  CSTal, Rebel 9, and MCP7 are all great programs, and I can
probably get them to work on most of my computers.  The problem is that
I frequently switch computers, and everytime I do I have to go through
the whole process again.  As long as I have multiple Windows-based
strong programs available, I just don't need to go through the hassle.
Thus I don't buy unless they are Windows native.  While I'm only one
person, if others follow the same approach eventually the programs will
be forced to switch.
