Loren, I'm an Omega user since SC 2.1 and am currently running TS 4.0.
I'm a little confused by your response posted to the Omega list (above)
concerning which of the "current releases" of your products you will be
planning to offer the free patch. Please list for me and the Omega list
members, the titles and version numbers of the products you are referring to
in the above note.
Regards,
Bill Vedder
To Bob Young, Janette Perez, and the list:
Above is the note I sent to Omega asking exactly which products
they are including when they say "current releases". I haven't
received an answer yet. I realize they're busy but the answer doesn't
require a research project.
A dime will get you a dollar that their strategy is to release
TS5.0, call that their "current release", and either make users
of previous releases upgrade to 5.0 or charge $$$ for the "free patch".
Janette, prove me wrong... please.
Regards,
Bill Vedder
