Here's a personal opinion from Bert - NOT OFFICIAL

Those of you who have read the "who are you?" threads will know that I am a designer at heart. I've designed many things from Nuclear heat exchangers to sewage treatment plants and also quite a bit of software.

One of the hardest things about being a designer is learning that you have to accept compromises.

Take something we all know about, a car for instance. A designer COULD make a car that goes 300 miles an hour but he would have to accept that such a car would not behave too well in city traffic and would probably cost more than most buyers would be willing to pay.

That same goes with software. One has to balance things such as... the programming tools available, simplicity of use, functionality, screen real estate, economic feasability, performance, reliability, maintenance, support, etc.

Now I've compared this forum with some others out there and think that Max has done a very good job and has produced a valuable tool that is not TOO difficult for most users to understand.

Now if you think that you can improve on any of the compromises that he has had to make then I'm sure a polite email to him volunteering your services to make the necessary changes would be most welcome.

Bert. I will repeat THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION.
