Go up one level in this thread


This is the actual situation.

The board + the R 30 unit are over the hill - just out of buisness.
This makes me no wonder, after having met the most worse support of a
retailing Co. in the entire chess scene.
Only ONE person responsible for this - everybody knows.
Beside this, there are - many, many users , who have this board or the
complete system - and the company, who'd just create a .dll for it's
prog, would show respect to the customer - and, have a real strong
advertising argument.

I'd like to remind, that just this branded + exiled Ossi Weiner
implemented a perfect .dll into G 4 + 5 Windows....without any forced
need.

Instead of reacting a little clever ( educated in commercial buisness )2
or 3 Co's
took money in advance to give this DGT thing a stand alone status.
They got their money - and the customer the result.
No reasonable ammount of this anonymus board has ever been seen.

What I saw personally - was REALLY dissappointing.
A board in average quality, no fish, no meat - but NO led's....just
wonder, how to work properly with it ( oh yeah - gotta switch this crazy
blurbin' F5 functions on....).

At least Ed was so intelligent, not to disable the connect possibility
for good.
I hope, he'll continue following this road for R 10 - if Ossi can create
a .dll
Ed'll be abe to do so under all circumstances - and'll have a brandnew
add. argument for his product.

At present, the advertising " supports the official - blurb - DGT board,
used in India, Red China and Hawaii ( and whereever else ) )- would be
an argument, NOT to buy....
