Go up one level in this thread


Honestly, I don't know what we're all getting so worked up about. Firstly, many
of us have found the CP interface to be adequate (The interface was fine, when I
downloadede it...the program was weak, and the features (in particular the
database features) were inadequate.). I actually though it was quite functional
and useful.

No matter which interface Ed chooses, someone will be upset about it. 'The Fritz
interface is the best in the world!' 'The Fritz interface is terrible' etc.

It's a fairly simple matter. Vote with your pocketbook. If you don't like the
interface, don't buy the program. I'm goint to buy the Rebel/CP program when it
come out; some won't. That's just natural in this business.

And we certainly *do* have the right to complain, we just don't have the right
to expect that the complaint will be heeded. Personally, we seem to be making
much ado about nothing. Perhaps we should wait until a program actually *exists*
before complaining or praising it?
