Tomasz,
You are right about QP2 speed... it is very fast.
All I am saying is that the service level from QP2 support is poor.
When I (and several others) went to XP, QP2 would routinely crash our
systems. It took about eighteen months for QP to acknowledge the
problem and come out with a new release that fixed our problem.
Frankly, the excellent level of support that you give to your own
product has made me very critical of the atrocious support levels of
many other software/data providers.
I hope you appreciate a compliment... you've earned it.
Regards,
Phsst
