Jon,
I actually really like you too!! And, as you know, I have often been one of your biggest supporters and have come close to blows with others when they talked nasty about AC. I know as well as most that you have worked extremely hard on making AC the best valued EMR out there and for that I am very grateful. However, being one not known for keeping my mouth closed I also have to remind you that this board has collectively and on numerous occasions spoken in unison about the need for some fixes to the basic core of the program. Go back to the WISH LIST threads and see users have wished over and over for improvements to the letter writer, the scheduler (color coding is the least of my concerns), spell check, medication writer, search function, etc. I get so excited when a new version comes out because I am hopeful that many of these issues will have been addressed only to find that some other "enhancement" such as links to other programs which I never use are there instead.
I am well aware that you and your competent staff have been consumed most recently with the CCHIT certification and I know how the whole thing infuriates you. So I have remained patient, confident that these other issues will be addressed at a later time. Even for all my disappointments, I continue to love AC and recommend it to everyone and anyone that will listen. I know a good thing when I see one.
So, no hard feelings, Jon! You can stop with the lightening bolts now

Leslie
