No need for conferences anymore. Please reread the thread above and you see i responded like 'come to the ug conference' to a DUTCH Vo-developer.No need for him to have week off to visit this conference.

That's not under discussion. Given that Robert is local to you I would have expected nothing less. In fact for Robert to not attend would have screamed volumes. However, VO is a commercial product with an international audience. A large number of people base their commercial and professional lives on the product. When something as significant as a new version and feature set is imminent, it is just normal and expected that such details would be widely advertised. It is just so bizarre that Brian feels the need for secrecy on such things and it leaves most people with a vacant pit in their stomachs wondering about the product and its management where it's owner refuses to speak publicly about it. Makes you wonder openly about the professionalism behind the product. Geoff

Brian has his reasons not to publish the list until he is sure that everything on that list can make it on the product or whatever reason. You , I and everybody else can have his/her own opinion on that. But Grafrx is not a democratic parlement where votes count It is Brian who has to run his business. Erik |
