It is so frustrating to know how Emerald can better serve my
users, and to be so eager to use it, but it's broke. (Doesn't do
call timing or integrate with my iMail). It must be so difficult
for all of you, as well. I mean wanting to make the best product
for the least price and trying to get it right at the same time.
You seem forced to make continuing changes while trying to
enhance Emerald, right? This approach leaves past bugs unfixed
and creates new bugs with the enhancements, and around and around
it goes, without the time to test, test, and test some more.
Being in this PC business some 21 years, my advice is to not
issue any new upgrades until what you have it as rock solid as
possible and out of beta, because I believe that you have
basically a very well designed product. When new user calls
slacken off, you'll know it's out of beta.
Creating software is sometimes awful to do. I know I've been
there. Please keep in mind the affect your talents and efforts
have on others, your well meaning users, and on yourselves
(trying to service the product). Be ruled by such relationships,
not money. It's such a tough call for you all, but I would go
slower, keep the faith, and solidify what you have.
Please believe how much I appreciate your efforts. Just my 2¢
