Nikos,

OK! But I would like you to realize that I mean well, too. I guess that might take a while.

Nikos, See, as I said, Kilmatead is way harsher than I am. While you DID respond with one of your stock answers (that is how it was designed) you did say how to at least get a warning. I think what others are saying (I do not use scrap windows, so I do not care) is that maybe it should be designed d...

Nikos, I am chill. It just sounds like I am not, because I use sarcasm. You do not complain to Kilmatead when he trounces you - and his comments are usually WAY worse than mine. So, I apologize if you thought I was being too harsh with you. And you are correct that I never had this problem and that ...

Nikos, people pay for software on the iPhone because they are willing to pay for something that is easy to use, intuitive and foolproof. That is not a customer base you have experience with. You may find that creating an app for the iPhone is not as easy as you think. There is an old saying (I am fu...

Really, Nikos? That's your answer? It is like the old joke, "doctor, when I laugh my chest hurts. The doctor replies, well then don't laugh.". You seem to acknowledge there is a problem (crazy columns) and you even seem to know the cause - and your solution is - don't do that??? What about...

When I first got X2 my major issue was having to click on a pane to activate it. Moving my mouse into a pane (and stopping for half a second) should (based on a customization setting) allow that pane to be selected. Having to click in a pane is a pain (could not resist that). I was told that there a...

Profess, well said! In your description I would qualify as somewhere between a basic and intermediate user. However I started using computers before the PC and when I started with the PC it was on the original - with DOS and 2 floppy drives. I am a programmer so I am quite technical but not with the...

Nikos, I was not trying to be confrontational. That is a problem with posts as opposed to being able to hear voice inflection, volume and pitch or see body language. I am just trying to be helpful and address the issue of making you more money. It would be nice if those other products could be used ...

Nikos, you are correct that parts of my posts appeared to be a bit off topic, but other parts of the same posts (for example my most recent above) also addressed the financial issues which IS the topic of this thread. But, as I suggested above, making changes to X2 DOES have a financial impact IF th...

Kilmatead, you continue to be my advocate and my champion. Keep up the good work!!! Nikos, I agree with Kilmatead's assessment of your attitude towards changes. From my perspective you start with the workaround and then become defensive, as you are in your posts above. You use deflection and excuses...

Kilmatead, you SAY you do not want to be our representative, but then you march right in and get on Nikos' case by being an advocate for other users. That is exactly the role I suggested for you and, contrary to your protestations, it is a role that is made for you. Besides, having you as a represen...

Nikos, Price point IS a marketing game. And when selling millions of items (like coffee) there is a lot of room for experimentation and trial runs to find the best price point. In a relatively low volume category, it is harder to do that. I did say SLIGHTLY (in caps) when suggesting your pricing com...

I guess this is not pertinent, but just how rich is Zabkat and how rich does it realistically need to be? I would object, in principle to the proportion of the increase: 33%. Possibly a 15% - 20% increase might be more reasonable. Then there is the question of upgrades. What would those cost to exis...

Just like the fox should not be in charge of the hen house security, the programmer should not have the final word on what action is a bug. Either we, as users, get to decide which operations we consider a bug or we will nominate a representative to act on our behalf. And since there is a strong pos...

Can someone please explain or clarify the above post regarding what it is in response to? The writer seems to make some points that are technical true but in reality they are not. For example the arguments about a musician playing music or people seeing an artist's work. The painting can be kept in ...
