Thanks for editoral scheme. So you dont do $hit, sorry but it was too easy not to make a joke there.
With respect to M$, and Advisor. It's a shame that you don't / won't do your own research about customers feelings etc. If I am expected to tell every vendor what they are doing wrong, it leaves little time for me to TCB.

I pay my $ here becasue this is the best place today. 10 years ago CIS:FoxForum ruled. Advisor was better then too. Articles that covered teh new FoxPro. How to convert those prg reports to a frx.
I also hang out on MSNEWS.
Today the desire to be on the edge is absent. It's now the editors responsibility. It's not time to publish, nor revenue. This is where the ball has been dropped, IMHO.
My silent retirement of my subscription was simple. If I start hounding the editors what does it do? Will I get so frustrated that I turn into an attorney. .

>>They are the same price becasue one gives you the code, the other you have to buy it as an add on. In the end very close in $ for the final product.

>>What if they provided content of the articles 3 or months after publisihing? I think that they wine about paying the writers more money. So it's all about the writers and screw the readers?

>>I guess that I'll find more real time info here. What if they did a weekly ezine? I might subscribe to that? It would be alot more timely. What is their turn around 3 or 4 months?

>For all these things, it's Advisor who is in charge, not the editorial staff. We can make suggestions, we can discuss ideas with them, we can try to convince them, but we can't demand these things to happen.

>Please do us a favor and send these comments to Advisor. It's just like posting bugs here on the UT. Microsoft, Advisor, and most other companies don't read these threads. While now we all know what you think, it doesn't change much this way.
