I am also very disappointed that Ira in vers. 3.07 has totally neglected the wishes and opinions of a clear majority of Users. In version 3.06 I was disappointed to see that the selection of Printer was removed, also in spite of the wishes of many Users. What will happen in vers. 3.08? Version 3 has for me brought just one substantial improvement, and that is the much better registration of Sources. I only feel that it has been obtained at a too high cost. Version 3 is in my opinion so dead slow that I can't stand it, I get stressed and upset any time I use the program. My PC with a 400 MHz K6 processor works to my satisfaction on all other programs, but not on CFTW3. Do I really have to spend some 2000$ for a new super high performance PC with a 1.5 GHz Pentium4 only to be able to run CFTW3 without being stressed ? Erik

That is why I released it as "Shareware". You can try it first and then if you don't like it you don't have to buy it. I try my best not to get irritated at my users. But I guess this is one time I am. If you don't like CFT-Win, then go use another program. I don't mind ideas for improvements. I think I have shown that many times in the past. But when users start whinning that I didn't do what they asked, what am I to think? I gave you my reasons for removing the Printer thing. I gave you my reasons for changing the emigration/immigration event. And you say I should take a vote and do what my users want me to? With too many users with an attitude like that - and I will soon simply shut down this program and go out of business! I really don't need to deal with that attitude! I don't make enough money to have to put up with it. I have good common sense reasons for why I do things - I am afraid I am not superman to please "everybody all the time". And I have tried to explain to you why I do things. If you can't stay civilized about it, I really wished you would leave CFT-Win and go use another program. I gave you my reasons. If you want to get nasty and whining that I didn't do what "you" wanted me to, then please go use another program.

George can we please request a moratorium on this subject. Regards Gale

You don't have to spend $2000 for a 1.5 GHz Pentium4. I use a 600 MHz Pentium3 and it is FAST when using CFTW. Besides, you can get an 800 MHz system now, complete system, for under $800. With your 400 MHz system, I'll bet you don't wait longer than 10-15 seconds for anything to load. Is that worth being stressed over? Oh my, how we have been spoiled by the fast-paced world today.
