It is thoroughly true, well documented and a great many people share my view. They have said so openly in this ng. The delays have been significant and it thoroughly obvious to the casual observer that VO32 did not and still does not get 50% of VOPS resources. > Who is 'We' ? My company and my employees. I don't work alone. But isn't that clear? You asked me to explain my position so that is what I am doing. > May be past for you, but who are you to speak for "Us"? I see great > ponential. At what point did I say I spoke on behalf of you? But now you raise the point, I can say I understand the feelings and motivations of some 80+ VO'ers and that is a reasonable chunk of the VO population. > You have 2757 (or later) and Robert worked very hard to bring VO to a stage > where it will be the most stable of VO that you have ever known. Soon, there > will be 2.8 Way too little and way too late. That is precisely why the VOPS population is shrinking and will continue to shrink. In fact, it has almost shrunk to the point where it is mostly Vulcan advocates and that is fine. I have no problem with this unless VOPS is held up as the driver for VO32. Because it isn't. > > it is my intention to keep pressuring GrafX for a better deal for VO32 < > ROFL!! Sorry, I don't see the humour in this. Maybe it is all a game for you... and even funny but for us it is an important commercial process and fundamental to our continuing success. If we can't achieve continued development for VO32 then we will continue to slip sideways into Dot Net. Regards, Geoff

From: Geoff Schaller on 27 Sep 2006 23:32 <g> ...well now your opinion is no more credible than mine so dream on boy'o. But I will say one thing, there will be a short surge in membership late this year because everyone knows you can get Vulcan and 2.8 and one yr support for a lower price than the items separately but then let's see how many of those re-sign the following year <g>.
