It would be nice if there was a "release date" and/or "history" info on that page. I hope something has been done about the horrible writing in the left pane. "Mes News" in 1.0.5.0 looked like it had been written by a seven year old child. Correction, a drunk seven year old child. I hope the English translation is better too. Words such as "Souvegarde" don't mean a lot to many of us. Regards, John.

I will forward them to the maker of MesNews with the request to include the *history* on that page. > I hope something has been done about the horrible writing in the left > pane. "Mes News" in 1.0.5.0 looked like it had been written by a seven > year old child. Correction, a drunk seven year old child. 1.0.5.0 ...that is, for us, a long time ago and MesNews is getting better every year :-) > > I hope the English translation is better too. Words such as > "Souvegarde" don't mean a lot to many of us. That was, again..., a long time ago :-) "Sauvegarde" was probably not translated and it meant "save" or "saving" If you have critics, I mean constructive ones, please tell us and we will try to correct or implement what you ask.

If you had a look at the page "download" you would have found a "what's new" ... http://www.mesnews.net/miseajour-gb.php The version that you mention was one of december 2003. -- Alain ( A l b ý ) Reply-to is valid (only 4 days !) http://home.tiscali.be/a.beguin |
